Our client is seeking an experienced AHPRA-registered Registered Nurse to lead a Supported Independent Living (SIL) home in South Hedland.

This is a highly autonomous and hands on leadership role where you will combine clinical care, staff leadership, compliance oversight and day-to-day operational management. Reporting to the Service Delivery Lead, you will take ownership of one SIL house supporting three participants while providing leadership and guidance to a dedicated team of Support Workers.

This role has arisen due to the return of a participant with complex clinical needs, creating an opportunity for an experienced clinician who enjoys leading from the floor rather than managing from behind a desk.

The Role
The Clinical Team Leader will be responsible for the overall clinical and operational performance of the house, ensuring participants receive safe, high quality and person centred care.

A key component of the role involves supporting a participant with a spinal cord injury, quadriplegia and tracheostomy, making experience in these areas highly desirable.

You will be expected to:

• Provide clinical leadership and nursing oversight
• Undertake participant assessments and monitor health outcomes
• Perform and oversee tracheostomy care and other clinical supports
• Lead medication governance and clinical risk management
• Supervise, coach and mentor Support Workers
• Manage rosters, staffing issues and service delivery
• Maintain compliance with NDIS Practice Standards and organisational requirements
• Ensure documentation, care plans and incident reporting are completed to a high standard
• Coordinate communication with families, guardians, GPs, hospitals and allied health providers
• Drive continuous improvement and quality outcomes

About You
We are looking for a Registered Nurse who enjoys balancing clinical practice with leadership responsibilities.

Essential Requirements

• Current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
• Bachelor of Nursing or equivalent qualification
• Minimum five years post-registration experience
• Previous leadership, team leader or clinical coordination experience
• Experience supervising and supporting disability or healthcare teams
• Strong understanding of NDIS Practice Standards and compliance requirements
• Experience supporting participants with complex clinical needs
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Current Driver's Licence
• NDIS Worker Screening Check
• Current First Aid and CPR certification

Highly Desirable

• SIL or disability services experience
• Tracheostomy care experience
• Experience supporting individuals with spinal cord injuries or quadriplegia
• PEG feeding, epilepsy, catheter care or high-intensity support experience
• Experience using ShiftCare, QUASR, SharePoint or similar systems
• Clinical audit, incident investigation or quality improvement experience

What's on Offer?

• Generous salary package
• Full-time or fixed-term employment options to suit your preference
• Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate
• Novated car leasing options
• Three months free accommodation provided
• Relocation assistance and flight support available
• Strong support from an experienced Service Delivery Lead
• High level of autonomy and ownership
• Opportunity to make a genuine difference in participants' lives
• Leadership role with a growing NDIS provider

Why This Role Stands Out
Unlike many Clinical Team Leader positions, this role offers the opportunity to genuinely own and lead a service. You will have the autonomy to manage daily operations, guide your team, oversee participant outcomes and utilise your nursing skills in a practical, meaningful way.

This position would suit an experienced RN from disability, community nursing, aged care or complex care backgrounds who is looking for a rewarding regional opportunity and enjoys being actively involved in participant care.
