Agency Registered Nurse In Charge Mernda — Aged Care RN IC Cover · Day, Night & Weekend

Mernda aged care homes book registered nurse in charge through Aspire when permanent rosters can't stretch — nights, weekends, public holidays and short-notice sick calls.

A Registered Nurse In Charge leads the shift — allocating staff, responding to clinical deterioration, managing escalations and handing over safely. Facilities need someone who can take charge from the first hour, not just fill a gap.

Each of the 15 residential aged care homes in the City of Whittlesea needs a senior nurse leading every shift — that's 45 shift-lead positions a day across the council.

Provide shift leadership, clinical oversight and support to ensure safe and effective care delivery within aged care facilities. Our experienced Nurse In Charge professionals help coordinate teams, respond to clinical needs and provide confidence during every shift.

The City of Whittlesea, about 25 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 15 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,723 operational beds. 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.
