Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Registered Nurse

Extraordinary care for extraordinary kids.

Every shift in our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit is an opportunity to make a life-changing difference. Caring for critically ill and injured children requires clinical excellence, teamwork and compassion—and we're looking for nurses who are ready to grow their careers in an environment where every moment matters.

Join a team that delivers world-class intensive care to infants, children and young people while supporting families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

Why Join Our PICU?

Working in PICU means you'll be part of a highly skilled multidisciplinary team caring for children requiring advanced life support, complex interventions and continuous monitoring. You'll be challenged, supported and inspired every day.

We offer:

• A collaborative, supportive team culture where everyone belongs.
• The opportunity to care for some of the most complex and rewarding paediatric patients.
• Comprehensive orientation and transition support for nurses new to paediatrics.
• Exceptional education programs, simulation training and ongoing professional development.
• Career pathways into advanced clinical practice, leadership, education and research.
• Access to cutting-edge technology and evidence-based care.
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to children and families when they need it most.

No Paediatric Experience? We’ll Support You.

We know that great intensive care nurses come from a variety of backgrounds. If you have experience in adult critical care, emergency, medical-surgical nursing or another acute specialty, we encourage you to apply.

Our dedicated educators, structured learning pathways, simulation programs and supportive clinical teams will provide the training, mentorship and confidence you need to successfully transition into paediatric intensive care.

More Than a Job

Working in PICU isn't just about caring for critically ill children—it’s about supporting children and their families, learning every day and being part of a team that never stops striving for better outcomes.

If you're looking for a career that is challenging, rewarding and truly meaningful, we'd love to hear from you.

Bring your nursing expertise. We'll help you build your paediatric intensive care future.
