Registered Nurses (RN) cover for Richmond aged care homes
Aspire supplies registered nurses to residential aged care homes in Richmond 3121 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 4 residential aged care homes in the City of Yarra, at least 12 Registered Nurse shifts are needed every day just to keep an RN on site around the clock — and around 271 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 Yarra, about 3 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 4 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 370 operational beds, including 2 in Richmond itself. Homes in the area lean on agency cover for the same pressures seen across Victoria: keeping a Registered Nurse on site around the clock, hitting funded care-minute targets and filling sick calls before the shift starts.
