Whilst this selection process will initially be used to fill the above vacancy, it may also be used to fill other "similar" vacancies throughout the health service. In addition to this, should the successful applicant decline or vacate the advertised vacancy, then the next most suitable applicant may also be selected from this process. Both of these options remain valid for a period of six (6) months from when the authorised delegate endorses the recruitment decision.
Applicants should note that the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children will cease operation in 2017, to be replaced by the Perth Children’s Hospital located in Nedlands. As a result you will be required to change location as PMH based positions transition to PCH and there may also be some changes to the role at that time. You are encouraged to discuss this with the contact listed below.
Position Profile: We are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced and enthusiastic person to the position of Nutritional Feeds Officer. In this role you will be responsible for the management of the supply of feeds to inpatients, outpatients and hospital departments of Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) and outlying institutions serviced by PCH. The position will have some professional oversight from the Department of Nutrition & Dietetics.
Area Profile: The $1.2 billion Perth Children's Hospital is being built on the QEII Medical Centre site in Nedlands and will replace Princess Margaret Hospital as the State's dedicated children's hospital. The PCH will have 298 beds, 48 more than PMH and the design of the building allows for future expansion.
All specialist services currently provided by PMH will be available at the new PCH, with many clinical areas expanded including an increase in neonatal and oncology capacity, an expanded Surgical Day Stay Unit and the introduction of a High Dependency Unit alongside the Intensive Care Unit. The PCH will also have all the necessary specialised equipment for treatment and diagnosis, plus the teaching and research facilities staff need to meet their learning requirements.
Employee Benefits: In addition to the great salary our employees enjoy an amazing range of benefits which may include (in line with operational requirements):
- 9.5% employer contributed superannuation into a fund of your choice. For further information go to: http://www.treasury.wa.gov.au/superannuation.aspx
