• Provide and oversee clinical care including medication management, wound and skin care, continence support, nutrition, palliative care and chronic disease management.
• Respond to acute clinical incidents (e.g. falls, choking, deterioration) and report to the Care Manager.
• Liaise with hospitals, discharge planners and external providers to coordinate appropriate services following admission, discharge or respite.
• Supervise and support care staff, provide guidance on best practice and address performance or practice concerns promptly.
• Ensure documentation is accurate, timely and compliant with regulatory and organisational requirements.
• Manage and report incidents in line with the Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) and infection control protocols.
• Participate in audits, quality improvement activities and collection of quality indicator data.
• Promote safe work practices and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and respectful care.
