Enrolled Nurses (EN) cover for Preston aged care homes
Aspire supplies enrolled nurses to residential aged care homes in Preston 3072 for planned rosters, leave cover and same-day requests.
Enrolled Nurses carry much of the day-to-day clinical load — observations, wound care, documentation and medication administration under RN direction. With Victorian rules now requiring nurses rather than PCAs to administer many S4 and S8 medicines, reliable EN cover matters more than ever.
Medication rounds run several times a day in each of the 18 residential aged care homes in the City of Darebin, covering around 1,491 residents. With nurses now required to administer many S4 and S8 medicines, local homes need ENs on almost every shift.
Support residents' clinical care needs through monitoring, documentation, medication support and day-to-day nursing care under the direction of Registered Nurses. Our ENs bring proven aged care experience and understand the importance of safe, consistent and compassionate care delivery.
The City of Darebin, about 9 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 18 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,491 operational beds, including 2 in Preston 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.
