The Team

Hospital in The Home’s sole purpose is to provide exceptional hospital level health care and ongoing support to the residents of Northern Tasmania to negate the need for hospitalisation in our mainstream facility and enable patients to remain in their own home and community under the watchful/vigilant eye of a dedicated health team which includes Medical Staff Specialists, Senior Medical Registrars, Nurse Unit Manager, Associate Nurse Unit Managers, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, and Allied Health professionals (incorporating Senior Social Workers, Senior Physiotherapists and Senior Occupational Therapists) .

We are small enough in Tasmania for you to make a real difference every day.  Yet collectively we are big enough for you to feel part of something incredibly important, where you can belong and be surrounded by diversity, innovation and friendships.  We’ll encourage you to bring your outstanding clinical and world knowledge to contribute to making our team a special alliance providing outstanding, compassionate and meaningful health care to our residents in Launceston and local surrounds.

Working in this dynamic service will provide the opportunity to;
