SCRUB SCOUT NURSES – ORTHOPAEDICS

Adelaide, South Australia

Up to $124K + Super | Exceptional Team Culture

Not all theatre environments are the same.

Some are chaotic, understaffed, and exhausting.
Others are supportive, well-run, collaborative, and somewhere you actually want to stay.

This is one of the good ones.

We are recruiting experienced Orthopaedic Scrub Scout Nurses to join a highly respected hospital with a strong reputation for theatre excellence, supportive leadership, and outstanding staff retention.

If you are looking for a role where your experience is genuinely valued, where the team supports each other, and where you can enjoy life outside of work, this opportunity deserves your attention.

What’s on Offer

• Up to $124K plus super, depending on experience

• Excellent staff benefits package

• Supportive and highly experienced theatre leadership team

• Busy and interesting orthopaedic caseload

• Modern theatre facilities and equipment

• Genuine work-life balance

• Ongoing professional development opportunities

• Long-term career progression

• Multiple positions available due to growth

The Role

You will work within a collaborative perioperative team across a broad range of orthopaedic procedures, including:

• Joint replacements

• Trauma

• Spinal surgery

• Sports injury procedures

• Complex orthopaedic cases

This is a hands-on Scrub Scout role suited to nurses who are clinically confident, organised, calm under pressure, and passionate about perioperative care.

What We’re Looking For

To be considered, you must have:

• Current AHPRA registration, or eligibility to obtain registration

• Recent Orthopaedic Scrub Scout experience

• Strong understanding of sterile technique and perioperative standards

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

• Strong clinical skills and adaptability

• Genuine plans to relocate to Australia within the next 3 months

For exceptional applicants, relocation assistance and visa support may be considered.

Please note:

• Candidates must be prepared to participate in the Australian registration and visa process

• Priority will be given to applicants with strong orthopaedic theatre experience and clear relocation plans

Why Adelaide?

Adelaide continues to attract healthcare professionals seeking a better lifestyle, lower living costs, less commuting stress, and a stronger work-life balance compared to larger Australian cities.

You get the career opportunities of a major healthcare market without the burnout lifestyle that often comes with it.

This hospital understands that.
