We also support people with mental health and gambling concerns and those transitioning from correctional centres. We’re growing fast and building a reputation as a trusted, innovative provider, focused on clinical excellence… and we’d love you to be part of it.

Your opportunity
We are offering a Registered Nurse an opportunity to join our specialised team which will provide residential rehabilitation, withdrawal, and family support in our 42-bed residential service.
Our clients present with drug and alcohol dependency and a broad range of associated psychological and physiological issues including complex co-morbidities.
In this position, you’ll provide people-centred, evidence-informed care for your clients and support the residential care unit. This is a dynamic and varied role where you'll provide support to various parts of the unit.
You will provide care that achieves the highest health outcomes. Care that makes a real difference to the lives of those with AOD dependency and other psychological and physiological issues.
We are offering a full time permanent position working 38 hours per week. In this role, you will be working Monday to Friday. There is flexibility to choose your own start and finish time, working fulltime hours anywhere between 7am and 5pm.
The starting hourly pay rate for this role is $53.04 per hour plus superannuation.
What you’ll bring
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Hold current qualifications as a Registered Nurse
- Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
- You’ll be able to demonstrate the difference you’ve made through your client-centred nursing care
- You’ll have experience working with people who have complex alcohol and substance use and/or mental health issues.
- Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- Current Australian-issued driver licence.
- Excellent organisation, coordination and administration skills.
We’d also love you to have:
- Strong consultation, communication, and interpersonal skills so that you can engage with our diverse clients, staff, and stakeholders.
What matters most is that you’ll live and breathe our values, which means:
- You are humble, human, and full of hope.
- You show up and share.
- You ask: Why not? And what’s next?
- You leave a positive wake.
Why? We believe that through these values, we do our best work - for each other, for clients, and for the communities we work in. And it’s a promise we make to you about the kind of experience you will have working for us.
Why work for Lives Lived Well?
Well, it’s about people, purpose, impact, and growth.
You’ll love working with talented people who share our values. Our services and treatments are as diverse as the communities we work in. And we’ve grown significantly in the past few years, with no plans of slowing down.
So, what does that mean for you? A real opportunity to go further!
- You’ll grow as a person and as a professional, extending your knowledge and skills beyond the norm.
- You’ll be trusted with autonomy in a supportive, respectful environment.
- You’ll make a lasting impact - on clients, the community and a team that cares as much as you.
But it’s more than that.
You’ll join a curious team that thinks differently and seeks new ways. We look to the evidence. We explore new ideas. And when we reach “better”, we ask, “What’s next?” Which means you’ll need to be comfortable with change - you’ll enjoy variety, the agility, and the opportunity to achieve more, faster.
And while you support others, we’ll support you with some great benefits, including:
- Regular training and supervision
- Our Nursing Community of Practice and other Nurse mentor/s
- Salary packaging to increase your take-home pay
- Regular clinical supervision, case conferencing and debriefings.
- An employee assistance program (EAP) for you and your family, including emotional, psychological, financial counselling and wellbeing services.
