An exciting opportunity presents itself for YOU to join the talented team of health professionals and support staff within the newly created 24/7 Hospital in the Home North service.

Hospital in The Home’s sole purpose is to provide exceptional hospital level health care and ongoing support to the residents of Northern Tasmania to negate the need for hospitalisation in our mainstream facility and enable patients to remain in their own home and community under the watchful/vigilant eye of a dedicated health team.

We are small enough in Tasmania for you to make a real difference every day. Yet collectively we are big enough for you to feel part of something incredibly important, where you can belong and be surrounded by diversity, innovation and friendships.

Here in the north of the state, you’ll be spoilt enough to be able to immerse yourself into our unique culture and world-renowned wilderness, pristine beaches and National Parks and experience our award-winning fresh local produce and wines – all right on your doorstep and as an added bonus, you won’t have to sit in traffic for an hour to arrive at your workplace.

We’ll encourage you to bring your outstanding clinical and world knowledge to contribute to making our team a special alliance providing outstanding, compassionate and meaningful health care to our residents in Launceston and local surrounds.
