Nurse Practitioner
St John WA is currently recruiting for a range of Nurse Practitioner roles across our network of Urgent Care Centres across Perth.
St John Urgent Care is designed to manage acute but non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses which would otherwise present directly to an Emergency Department. We consider this to be an ideal setting for Nurse Practitioners to exercise their valuable clinical skillset. Nurse Practitioners in Urgent Care are afforded a high degree of clinical independence but also have ample support from nurses and doctors at all times.
First Aid Training
First Aid Training
Knowing first aid is a vital skill and we actively encourage all employees to learn it. Statistics indicate that 80% of cardiac arrests occur in the home and that for each minute CPR is not administered, a patient’s survival rate decreases by 10%.
All employees are offered a complementary HLTAID011 Provide first aid course every three years, which is conducted at a St John Ambulance WA training centre. Immediate family members living at the same address as the employee are also entitled to one free course every three years.
Health and wellbeing
Health and wellbeing
As one of the largest medical providers in WA, St John understands the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. To ensure a healthy workforce, St John offers a Health and Wellbeing benefit valued at $550 to eligible staff (pro-rata for part-time employees) to help towards covering the cost of ongoing memberships such as health clubs, gyms, pilates and yoga classes. Health programs such as Quit Now or Weight Watchers are also covered by the benefit as is leasing certain sporting equipment (e.g. treadmills, cross trainers).
Superannuation
Superannuation
When we retire we all hope to have enough money to afford a comfortable lifestyle. For most of us this will come from our superannuation funds. As an added incentive to save, any employee who makes an extra 5% contribution to their superannuation fund (in addition to St John’s contribution) will receive an additional 1.5% top up based upon their ordinary earnings (excludes overtime and penalties).

Salary Packaging
Salary Packaging
We’ll help you maximise your income. Salary packaging is one of the most popular benefits our employees enjoy. Salary packaging can substantially increase your take-home pay. Salary packaging allows you to allocate a portion of your annual pay towards expenses before it is taxed, resulting in more money in your pocket.
Discounts on Health Insurance

St John Urgent Care Centres are large purpose-built facilities which have x-ray, casting and splinting capability on site, as well as facilities for minor procedures, IV administration and acute dental care.
These centres replicate some features of the hospital environment- namely care is delivered in a large team-based, multi-bay department, with continual nursing support.
St John Urgent Care centres have specialists on call to provide orthopaedic and plastics advice throughout extended hours, rapid radiology reporting arrangements and a review clinic to follow up results and manage non-operative fractures and injuries over time. Urgent Care is an open and collaborative clinical space. This is implied by the design of the physical environment and evident in the collegial team dynamics which exist between nurses, nurse practitioners and doctors.
