About us:
Wheels of Wellness (WoW) is a progressive, values-based not-for-profit delivering primary healthcare to some of the most vulnerable people in the Cairns community.

Our team provides free, person-centred medical, allied health and social support to people experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and complex social challenges.

We work both from a fixed clinic and through mobile outreach — meeting people where they are, in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
 

About the role:
We’re looking for a Casual Registered Nurse to join our team — someone who can step in across clinic and outreach shifts and support continuity of care for our clients.

This is a hands-on role working alongside GPs and Indigenous health workers to deliver holistic primary healthcare.

You will:

• Provide clinical nursing care within your scope in both clinic and outreach settings

• Support assessment, treatment and care planning for clients with complex needs

• Assist with medication support and monitoring where required

• Help connect clients to appropriate health and community services

• Maintain accurate clinical documentation and follow WoW processes

• Build strong, respectful relationships with clients and team members

About you:
You’re a practical, down-to-earth nurse who is confident working in less structured environments and with people who may have complex needs.

You will bring:

• Current AHPRA registration as an RN

• Experience in primary healthcare, community health or similar (or strong interest)

• Ability to work flexibly across clinic and outreach settings

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• A calm, non-judgmental approach

• Genuine motivation to work with vulnerable populations

Interest or experience in the following is highly regarded:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health

• Chronic disease management

• Mental health

Due to the social circumstances and vulnerability of our clients, you must be a passionate clinician who can build rapport quickly.

Why join WoW?

• Work that genuinely makes a difference in the community

• Supportive, mission-driven team

• Variety — no two days are the same (clinic + outreach)

• Access to salary packaging (salary sacrificing) benefits
