We have an exciting opportunity for qualified and experienced Emergency Nurse Practitioners/Emergency Care Practitioners to join us.

At Greenbrook, our first priority is to our patients, providing them with excellent, safe, high quality and timely care. We understand that to achieve this, our emergency practitioners need to have the time to do the work they trained for – treating patients, so we ensure our clinicians and operational staff are well supported by strong clinical and operational management teams.
