WHAT ARE WE OFFERING?

Worth the drive – or right on your doorstep! RN & CN opportunities in Gawler — Looking for a role where your experience is valued and you can be part of something a little different? Come and join our friendly, supportive team at our peri-urban hospital in Gawler, not too far from Adelaide.

Forgie Ward offers a diverse and rewarding clinical environment, caring for a predominantly medical patient cohort alongside a varied surgical caseload. We are also unique within the hospital, sharing part of our space alongside maternity services while maintaining our own distinct nursing model and patient group.

As a mid-sized service, we offer the best of both worlds — a varied clinical environment and range of services, while still being a place where departments work closely together and you can genuinely get to know the people you work with. Unlike larger hospitals, you're not just another face in the crowd.

Don’t have experience in both medical and surgical nursing? That’s okay — we can support you to build your knowledge and confidence in areas that are new to you.

With FTE positions currently available, this is a great opportunity for experienced RNs and CNs looking for a change and a varied, rewarding role in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you're looking for somewhere a little different, we'd love to have you join us!
