Updated: Oct 11

The team at Carejobz Perioperative Specialists are recruiting for a hospital on the Sunshine Coast. We are looking for an experienced Scrub/Scout Nurse for Ophthalmology and ENT, on a permanent 0.8 FTE basis.



About the Facility

A well-established private hospital on the Sunshine Coast, with a close-knit theatre team and a genuine commitment to work-life balance. Lists are managed strictly and finish on time; when they do run over, it is the managers who stay.


The Role

The caseload is primarily Ophthalmology (cataracts, oculoplastics) and ENT, with some minor orthopaedics. If you have Ophthalmology experience, the team will bring you up to speed on anything else. VR experience is a bonus but not essential.


In this role, you will:

  • Scrub and scout on Ophthalmology and ENT lists, with some minor orthopaedics

  • Work within a close-knit theatre team that runs lists on time


What You Will Bring

  • Current AHPRA registration

  • Solid scrub/scout experience in a surgical environment

  • A background in Ophthalmology or ENT is ideal, though the team is genuinely open to experienced scrub/scouts willing to learn

  • New Zealand nurses with full working rights are encouraged to apply


Why You Will Want to Know More

  • Up to $107k per annum

  • Monday to Friday, no nights, no weekends

  • Free on-site parking

  • Family-friendly rostering as standard

  • Two weeks off over Christmas and New Year, every year

  • Novated lease and salary sacrifice options available

  • New Enterprise Agreement being finalised, with backpay on signing

  • Relocation support available for the right candidate

If this sounds like the kind of theatre opportunity you have been waiting for, we would love to speak with you.



Kate or Paul will be happy to talk you through the opportunity, answer your questions honestly, and help you decide whether it feels like the right next step for you.
