Working in healthcare has never been more important or meaningful.

Our Journey; Rehabilitation - Kingston Centre

Kingston Centre, located in Cheltenham, is a stand-alone subacute site within Victoria’s largest public health service, Monash Health. Onsite we have a purpose built rehabilitation centre which encompasses a large onsite gym, pool and kitchen amenities for our consumers.

Rehabilitation at Kingston Centre is comprised of 3 Units (South 4, North West 1 and North West 2), of whom specialise in a range of services including, but not limited to, Geriatric Rehabilitation, Movement Disorders, post Stroke Rehabilitation, MS, Spinal Cord Injuries and post craniotomy rehabilitation and wide range of other neurological conditions. At Kingston, we promote and encourage our nursing staff to expand

on their clinical skills, grow, learn and diversify. We work closely with a large interdisciplinary team to achieve best outcomes for all consumers.

We are currently looking to expand our Rehabilitation Service with experienced Registered Nurses in both Full Time and Part Time capacity with both ongoing and fixed term opportunities. We look for flexibility with Nursing staff, ideally being available AM, PM and Night Shift on a 7 day rotational roster.
