Tasmanian Government·Meriden, Connecticut
Provide appropriate and timely nursing care to mental health consumers across various settings including inpatient and forensic units. Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to promote consumer independence and support recovery journeys.
Our Registers are for use by non-employees. Current employees should lodge their interest for additional hours/duties on the intranet Expression of Interest page.
Registers provide a mechanism to recruit to casual vacancies. They may also be used to fill short, fixed term vacancies where normal recruitment processes are not practicable.
For permanent and more lengthy fixed term vacancies, please look at the individual advertisements on www.jobs.tas.gov.au [www.jobs.tas.gov.au].
This Register will remain open until 30 June 2028 and will be reviewed on a regular basis.
Please note a fixed-term and casual employment register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.
We welcome applications from Enrolled Nurses with experience or training in mental health and also those who are looking for a pathway into mental health or to broaden their current skills and experience.
We offer opportunities to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team with consumers across the lifespan in a number of settings including inpatient, respite, rehabilitation and forensic.
In recognition of the valuable contribution Enrolled Nurses have been found to make to our services and the lives of consumers, the Statewide Mental Health Service has been increasing the number of Enrolled Nurse positions across our services.
We are privileged to walk alongside our consumers, their friends and families in their recovery journey; nurses working in mental health describe a real sense of ‘making a difference’ in their day to day work.
No two days are the same in mental health. Some days may be structured with planned activity, others may involve responding to an emergency and thinking on your feet.
The Statewide Mental Health Service is growing! The Tasmanian Mental Health Reform Program will expand and redesign mental health services, adopting a ‘no wrong door’ approach. The next two years will see the opening of integrated care hubs in collaboration with our community sector partners, drawing on the Safe Haven Café and Recovery College models. We are enhancing our response to suicidal distress and acute needs and opening new 24-hour community-based beds.
We are a friendly and relatively small service providing opportunities to follow the career path of your choice across a range of closely allied services.
Flexible working arrangements – opportunities to work part-time or occasional shifts.
We are improving access to core mental health nursing skills training including the Connecting with People suicide mitigation approach.
We will work with you to identify which service areas are a good match for your skill set, track your progress and explore developmental opportunities with you.
