About our Neonatal Services

Our Level 6 Neonatal Services provides specialised care for critically ill and premature newborn infants, including those requiring advanced respiratory support, intensive monitoring and complex medical management. As part of a tertiary neonatal service, the NICU works within a multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering family-centred, evidence-based care to some of the most vulnerable patients and their families across Victoria and Australia.

About the opportunity

Join our Neonatal Services team and play a pivotal role in supporting the delivery of safe, high-quality care to newborn infants and their families. Working within a collaborative multidisciplinary environment, you will be responsible for the management of neonatal equipment and medical supplies, ensuring resources are safe, functional, compliant and readily available to support clinical care across the service.

• Manage neonatal equipment and medical supplies to ensure the safe, effective and efficient delivery of patient care across Neonatal Services.
• Coordinate equipment maintenance, servicing, procurement and inventory management to ensure equipment remains operational, compliant and readily available for clinical use.
• Work collaboratively with medical and nursing leadership and clinical teams, biomedical and support teams to optimise equipment utilisation, support staff education and contribute to patient safety and service improvement initiatives.

You’re resilient, compassionate and have a whole lot of heart. Most importantly, you are committed to delivering exceptional patient-centred care.

To thrive in this role, you will have:

• Contemporary neonatal nursing knowledge and experience.
• Strong organisational, problem-solving and communication skills.
• The ability to work autonomously and collaboratively with a broad range of stakeholders.
• Experience coordinating equipment, resources or clinical assets in a healthcare environment.
• A commitment to quality, safety and continuous improvement.
• At least three years of Neonatal Intensive Care experience following completion of a recognised specialty practice qualification.

You will also be required to provide evidence of, or in the process of obtaining:

• Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse.
• A current Police Record Check and Working with Children Check.
• Proof of current influenza vaccination and other vaccination status consistent with public health orders.
• Post-Graduate qualifications in Neonatal Intensive Care.
