On 1 January 2026 five health services (Kooweerup Regional Health Service, Peninsula Health, Alfred Health, Bass Coast Health and Gippsland Southern Health Service) will come together to create Bayside Health. A newly merged health service with more than 22,000 employees caring for a community of over 1.2 million Victorians.  

The new health service will provide people with the best possible care with services that support them throughout their lives. The merger will also strengthen our workforce, providing new training, education and career opportunities. Subject to final approval on 1 January 2026, all employees from the five health services will transfer to Bayside Health. 

Who We Are and What We Stand For

Our Mission is to strive for healthy lives for everyone, through sustainable, innovative, compassionate care. To realise this mission we need people who seek a sense of achievement, take an interest in their individual growth, enjoy innovation, look for ways to improve and have a passion for communicating and connecting with others.    

In representing Peninsula Health, we expect all employees and volunteers to reflect our values: Be the Best, Be a Role Model, Be Open and Honest, Be Compassionate and Respectful and Be Collaborative. We are One Peninsula Health.   

  
What You Will Be Doing   

As a Pool Nurse, you are contracted to an agreed EFT (minimum 0.4 EFT/32 hours per fortnight) and work across a rotating roster of AM, PM, and ND shifts.

Unlike ward-based roles, Pool Nurses provide backfill for vacancies across all areas and sites within Peninsula Health, according to their scope of practice. Shifts are rostered in advance, and allocations are confirmed on the day to meet service needs.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to broaden your clinical skills and experience while opening pathways to future career opportunities within Peninsula Health. As a permanent employee, you are entitled to full leave benefits.

Our employment options, benefits, and dedicated education programs ensure you have the resources and support needed for ongoing professional growth and success.
