Registered Nurse In Charge (RN IC) cover for Preston aged care homes
Looking for an agency RN IC in Preston? We place aged-care-experienced registered nurse in charge into facilities across Preston and the wider City of Darebin, day or night.
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 18 residential aged care homes in the City of Darebin needs a senior nurse leading every shift — that's 54 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 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.
