Stand out with a Nursing Agency Resume: What Recruiters Really want to See

Your resume isn’t just a box to tick, it’s your first impression. At Nursing Solutions Group, we review hundreds of applications across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven. What grabs our attention? It’s not just qualifications, it’s clarity, relevance, and a care-first mindset.

How to write a resume

1: Tailor It for the Job

• Use the correct job title (e.g. Registered Nurse – Shoalhaven)

• Put relevant experience up top: clinical work, aged care, NDIS, or disability support

• Highlight hands-on skills like personal care, medication support, or managing behaviours

• Personalise your opening statement; skip the generic intros

2: Keep the Format Simple

• Use clean, easy-to-read fonts and layouts

• Bold your section headings: Summary, Skills, Experience, Education, Certificates

• Aim for 1–2 pages. Focus on what matters, not on length

3: Include the Essentials

• Your Availability (e.g. Weekdays 8–3 or Available weekends)

• Transport info (e.g. “Own care, full licence)

• Certifications with expiry dates

• Referee details with up-to-date contacts

4: Extra Tips for NDIS & Aged Care Roles

• Mention experience with care plans or goal setting

• List any work with complex needs (PEG feeding, autism, dementia, etc.)

• Show soft skills like empathy, reliability, and clear communication

Final Thought

You don’t need a flawless resume, just one that reflects who you are and how you work. Make it relevant, honest, and easy to read. And if you’re not sure where to start, we’re happy to help you fine-tune it before you apply.
