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 2018, to be replaced by the Perth Children’s Hospital located in Nedlands. This transition may result in this position no longer being required; however, as this is a fixed term contract of employment with a cessation date beyond the expected date of closure of PMH, you will continue to be employed with WA Health for the period of your contract of employment. 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 Registered Nurse. The Registered Nurse is responsible for the delivery of vaccines as part of an immunisation service program and a high standard of nursing care to patients and their families using the Scope of Nursing Practice Decision Making Framework. The Registered Nurse acts as a role model and undertakes a teaching role in nursing practice for more junior staff.
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.
