Occupational Health Nurse

About the Opportunity

ASC is seeking an experienced and highly organised Occupational Health Nurse to join our Henderson Health Centre.

This is a diverse role that combines occupational health nursing with a significant administrative and coordination component. The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the effective day-to-day operation of the Health Centre, maintaining accurate health records, coordinating workplace health programs and ensuring compliance with a range of occupational health requirements.

The role is ideally suited to a nurse who enjoys working in a highly organised environment, has exceptional attention to detail, and takes pride in maintaining accurate records and efficient systems.
