If you’re a PACU Registered Nurse in Brisbane who enjoys the clinical side of nursing but could happily do without the endless nights, huge departments and feeling like a number — this could be worth a look.

We’re working with a highly regarded private day surgery in Brisbane looking for a Permanent Part-Time Registered Nurse to join their PACU team.

It’s a smaller, close-knit environment where people actually know each other. The team has that family feel — supportive, friendly and the kind of place where you can ask for a hand without feeling like you’re bothering someone.

Why you might like it
There’s something pretty appealing about a role where you can finish your shift and still have a life afterwards.

With a day-surgery setting, you’ll enjoy a more predictable working environment and the flexibility that comes with permanent part-time hours, like no regular night shifts and more of your evenings and weekends back.

The interesting bit — the surgery
You’ll work across a varied mix of elective procedures, including: plastics and reconstructive work, oral and maxillofacial among plenty others.

You’ll be caring for patients through PACU/Recovery, managing post-operative observations, pain and nausea, recognising complications and getting patients safely ready for discharge.

The people.
You won’t be joining a massive department where you barely know who you’re working with.

You’ll become part of a genuinely close-knit team where everyone pitches in, communication is straightforward and people look out for each other.

It’s also a great opportunity if you enjoy variety and want to keep developing your PACU skills across different surgical specialties.

We’re looking for:
  • Registered Nurse with PACU/Recovery experience
  • Current AHPRA registration
  • Strong post-operative assessment and patient management skills
  • Someone looking for permanent part-time hours

If you’re ready for a role that gives you good surgery, good people and a bit more life outside the hospital, apply now or get in touch with Laura at Mayday Healthcare for a confidential chat via laura@maydayhealthcare.com.au
