Calvary Public Hospital Bruce (CPHB) is a 265 bed multi-discipline, modern health care facility serving the ACT community. At CPHB, our patients and their families expect a highly skilled, compassionate and dedicated workforce. Calvary staff pride themselves on ‘being for others’. The patient journey is at the centre of Calvary’s philosophy within our models of care.
Calvary is a national Catholic provider of health, community and aged care services operating in six states and territories. Our services include public and private hospital care, acute and sub-acute care, home care services and retirement and aged care services, in both rural and metropolitan areas. Calvary employs over 11,000 people and has over 1,500 volunteers.
Calvary continues the mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, a mission focused on caring for those who are sick, dying and in need. We express our values of hospitality, healing, stewardship and respect through “being for others” exemplified by the Spirit of Calvary and the example of Venerable Mary Potter.
Calvary Public Hospital Bruce provides a range of inpatient and outpatient services including emergency, intensive care, stroke, mental health, surgical, medical and maternity.
With a reputation for high quality services, our highly skilled social workers and psychologists provide best practice assessment and holistic care for patients, carers and families. This role is varied and stimulating, involving rotations through key areas of the hospital where you will learn from experienced clinicians and manage your own caseload.

This role would suit a mature and sensitive clinician who is passionate about supporting patients and colleagues. To succeed, this clinician must also have strong administrative skills, a can do attitude and exceptional communication skills.
Applications from new graduates who hold these attributes are welcome.
