About the Role

The Neurological Support Service (NSS) offers permanent residential accommodation to people who require neurological support but who are able to engage or direct how their supports are delivered. The clients of our services enjoy an active, fun and engaging lifestyle that is supported by like-minded individuals.

Yooralla recently extended our capabilities by assuming responsibility for Neurological Support Services (NSS) in Eastern Melbourne, which includes four Supported Independent Living (SIL) houses that provide 24-hour support to people with complex neurological disabilities such as Huntington’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Like Yooralla’s Ventilator Assisted Support Service (VASS), the neurological service has 24/7 nursing on-site to support residents’ medical needs. The service also has a dedicated lifestyle and recreation support worker that is responsible for ensuring residents participate in enjoyable and meaningful activities at home and in the community.

Yooralla is now in an exciting phase of service improvement, as we work with residents and their families, staff and experts in neurological conditions to enhance the service and support residents to live their best lives.

NSS currently has vacancies for Casual Grade 3 and 4 Registered Nurses. The role requires you to work night shifts.
