Nursing Home Releases Weird Job List To Bring ‘Sex’ Back To Elderly Patients

A tongue-in-cheek recruitment ad for a $145,000 aged care position has promised to bring “sex” back into the female-dominated industry.

Mars Recruitment uploaded several ads to Seek on Tuesday for clinical nurse manager positions available at an unnamed not-for-profit aged care provider – with the headline “sexy back in aged care”.

The positions, offered in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, NT and Tasmania, come with a base salary of $130,000 to $145,000 plus super and salary package.

“Perhaps aged care will never be labeled ‘sexy’, but let me tell you what it always has been, always is and always will be – absolutely, without a doubt, bloody beautiful!” wrote Anthony Nguyen, aged care recruitment manager at Mars Recruitment and host of Leaders in aged care podcast.

“I don’t even know if I can say this in a Seek commercial, but I’m fresh off the plane and buzzing with excitement after spending three transformative days at the ACCPA National Conference. I am more determined than ever to tell anyone who will listen that senior care is the place to be.

“Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder. Being in aged care is like finding your soulmate – you just know you’ve found your place in life.”

Mr. Nguyen, known for his colorful job adverts, was a speaker at last week’s Community and Aged Care Providers Association (ACCPA) event in Adelaide, where he presented a session on the use of “storytelling” to attract and retain workers.

“Over the past year, his podcast has featured over 50 CEOs and senior executives, highlighting the deep connections and rewarding experiences that define senior care,” the description read.

“Anthony’s work has directly impacted workforce attraction and retention, demonstrating the power of storytelling in an industry often overshadowed by other healthcare sectors.”

Mr. Nguyen previously explained in a LinkedIn post that “nurses have the best sense of humor” and “employers should use that to their advantage to attract them.”
