About the Role - Paediatric Specialist Consulting Nurse
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a permanent fulltime Paediatric Specialist Consulting Clinic Nurse to join the Lagoon Ward to manage and care for patients requiring clinic care at Monash Children's Hospital. This position will report to the Lagoon Nurse Manager and will be responsible for delivering nursing care to the patients booked for Specialist Clinics at Monash Children's Hospital and through Lagoon Ward. You will see a vast variety of patients requiring medical and surgical care from all disciplines.

You will be a part of the Lagoon Nursing team and be supported to develop your clinical skills as required within a fun and encouraging environment.
About Us
Ward 3D Lagoon is a 28 bed busy and dynamic medical and surgical day ward caring for children of all disciplines at Monash Children's Hospital. Amongst this work we care for children in a nurse led and nurse procedure clinic to provide care not required as an inpatient. We are an ever growing service and continuing to develop new pathways to keep children at home and in day models of care.
The Specialist Consulting Clinics at Monash Childrens Hospital are also very busy services caring for children with both medical and surgical needs. All disciplines have a structured timetable of when nursing care is required to assist the multidisciplinary team in these clinic appointments. The position will be across a Monday to Friday working week, predominantly 0800-1630hrs but may require some later shifts as the role continues to develop. You will work closely between the two Units, supported also by a rotating nursing role within Lagoon.
