  • Experience in triage, clinical assessment, care planning, health education and complex care coordination.
  • Strong cross-cultural communication skills and experience working with professional interpreters.
  • The ability to work autonomously, exercise sound clinical judgement and seek advice when appropriate.
  • Nurse Immuniser qualification, highly desirable, or a willingness to undertake the required training.
  • Previous experience working with people seeking asylum and refugees, highly desirable.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
