Nursing Lab Simulation Officer

Looking to step away from shift work — but still use your healthcare skills?

Join Griffith University and play a hands-on role in supporting the next generation of nurses and midwives.

We’re looking for a Nursing Lab Simulation Officer to help deliver practical teaching and simulation experiences in our Nursing and Midwifery labs. This is a great opportunity for healthcare workers who enjoy practical work, teamwork, and organised environments without the demands of clinical shift work.

👉 No night shifts, no weekends, simply enjoying weekday hours (shifts between 7am and 6pm) and a positive work‑life balance.

Technical Partners provides a range of support services, delivered through business partnering and the provision of specialist technical support with our teams. We work closely with academic colleagues and senior managers to spotlight partnering with Schools, Research Groups, and other stakeholders within Griffith Health and to meet strategic and operational technical support priorities across Griffith Health.

Griffith University is seeking a passionate and practical Nursing Lab Simulation Officer to join the Simulation and Practical Experience team within the School of Nursing and Midwifery. This is a hands-on, behind‑the‑scenes role supporting high‑quality simulation and practical learning environments for undergraduate Nursing and Midwifery students.

Working as part of a collaborative, high‑performing technical team, you will provide essential technical and laboratory support to enable high‑quality clinical teaching laboratories and simulation sessions. Under the supervision of the Team Leader and guidance of the Senior Technical Officer (School of Nursing and Midwifery), you will support practical teaching activities and clinical simulations through setup, pack down and procurement, ensuring teaching laboratories are well-prepared, safe and effectively equipped for student learning. 

This is a technical support role rather than a teaching or clinical care position, making it ideal for those who enjoy the practical, organisational and equipment-focused aspects of healthcare.

Here’s how you’ll make it matter:

• Preparing, setting up, maintaining and packing down teaching laboratories and simulation sessions to create realistic, safe and well organised learning environments
• Supporting the delivery of nursing and midwifery practical classes, including high‑ and low‑fidelity simulation environments
• Undertaking stock control, equipment checks, maintenance and procurement of consumables and equipment to ensure resources are available and functioning when needed.
• Supporting WHS compliance and contribute to a safe, inclusive working environment.
• Collaborating with academic and professional staff to deliver engaging, high-quality simulation experiences for students.
