Our child sustained an acquired brain injury (ABI) at birth and requires round-the-clock care and attention.
Our home is not just a workplace, it’s a nurturing, emotionally invested space where every member of the team is vital. We have constructed a highly specialised, exclusive team who care for our child only, reducing external exposure risks and allowing for deep consistency of care.
Being a proud Māori/Polynesian family, we strongly encourage applications from individuals who share our cultural background and values. However, we value all individuals who are compassionate, skilled, culturally respectful and understand what we are looking for. We welcome all backgrounds.
Essential requirements are a current AHPRA registration as RN or EN and first aid/CPR certification. Candidates must have full Australian work rights (no sponsorship is available).
This is an in-home complex care role, grounded in both medical skill and deep relational caregiving. We are not simply hiring for a shift, we are looking for someone to become part of a long-term, stable and emotionally intelligent team.
Our child is five years old and fully dependent for all care needs, including airway management, seizure protocols, positioning, suctioning and emotional comfort.
Due to the complexity of his care, team members undergo (paid) training/trial for six months of intensive one-on-one training before practising independently. The role is deeply specialised and requires both technical skill and intuitive caregiving.
Our child’s team is exclusive and dedicated only to him, meaning this role does not suit nurses looking to maintain multiple clients or agencies, or extensive social activities. This is essential to reduce exposure from school, sports, hospitals, and general community risk. We’ve made this choice to protect our son after previous critical medical events.
Key responsibilities are:
- to uphold infection control practices at the highest level
- to maintain exclusivity of care
- to attend regular team check-ins and training
- to build a responsive and intuitive relationship with our child, who is non-verbal
- to provide vigilant overnight monitoring
- to show adaptability and resilience as our child’s needs evolve.
We’re looking for an emotionally intelligent nurse who values both clinical precision and cultural grounding, who see this as a role with deep meaning, and who understands that continuity, loyalty, and attention to detail are what keep our son safe.
We offer:
- Competitive pay: A$115,000–A$200,000 depending on experience and commitment
- 40 hours per week after successful onboarding (majority eight-hour shifts, occasional 10, 12-hour shift)
- Long-term, meaningful employment
- Team-based support from experienced senior carers
- Ongoing professional development and case-based learning
