Registered Nurses (RN) cover for Croydon aged care homes

Aspire supplies registered nurses to residential aged care homes in Croydon 3136 for planned rosters, leave cover and same-day requests.

Residential aged care homes must have a Registered Nurse on site 24 hours a day, and RN care minutes are a funded, reported target. When an RN calls in sick or a roster gap opens, an experienced agency RN keeps the facility compliant and residents safe.

With 15 residential aged care homes in the City of Maroondah, at least 45 Registered Nurse shifts are needed every day just to keep an RN on site around the clock — and around 1,152 hours of RN care a day to meet the 44-minute RN target.

Provide clinical leadership and nursing care within residential aged care settings, including assessments, care planning, medication management and complex resident care. Aspire provides RNs with proven aged care experience who understand the clinical responsibilities and person-centred approach required to support older Australians.

The City of Maroondah, about 28 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 15 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,571 operational beds, including 6 in Croydon itself. Most requests we see from this part of Melbourne are night shifts, weekend rosters and same-day sick-leave cover — the shifts that are hardest to fill with permanent staff alone.
