Clinical Nurse

Every institution values excellence. What matters most is why.
Griffith was created to be a different type of university. You’ll find we’re about leading research, academic excellence, and the transformative power of education. But what sets us apart is why those things matter and how you’ll achieve them.

Why? Griffith brings together exceptional minds like yours from across the globe and from all walks of life. Here, we do incredible work, questioning and challenging, always in the pursuit of excellence.

As a Clinical Nurse, you’ll play a key role in supporting the health and wellbeing of students, staff, and visitors across campus. You’ll provide nursing assessment, treatment for illness and injury, and respond to emergency first aid needs when they arise.

Every day will be a mix of clinical care, teamwork, and variety — supporting people when they need it most and helping promote positive health outcomes across the University.

Key responsibilities include:

• Provide nursing care, assessment, treatment and preventative health interventions to support the wellbeing of students, staff, and visitors
• Support visiting doctors and allied health professionals with patient care and follow-up
• Respond to first aid and urgent health needs for students, staff, and visitors presenting to Health and Medical Services, offering calm, timely, and practical support when it matters most
• Assist with the smooth day-to-day running of the Health and Medical Service, including clinical support tasks, admin, and maintaining supplies and equipment
• Keep accurate electronic health records and service data using clinical systems
• Support Wellbeing and Accessibility colleagues in managing a range of health-related presentations
• Help build and maintain strong referral networks with external health providers and services
• Contribute to health promotion activities such as workshops, resources, displays, and student wellbeing initiatives
