Allied Health Assistant - Casual opportunities
Why not come and have an adventure in FNQ? Here in tropical FNQ come and experience all that Cairns Private Hospital has to offer.
Enjoy the palm tree fringed beaches - just like the Maldives except we have the added bonus of the occasional croc and seasonal box jellyfish! We have tropical cyclones and the ‘wet season’, in which more rain appears in one afternoon than a week in the UK… great for kayaking to work!
Come and enjoy the balmy nights of summer which, coming from the northern hemisphere like myself, feels balmy all year round! Who needs to travel when this is all on your doorstep?
