Hello, are you… An innovator? A problem solver? A team player? A customer focused thinker? Committed to helping others? Interested in contributing to the health of all Western Australians?

This is an exciting time for HSS and we’re looking for adaptable, motivated, and resilient people to join our growing team.

Before you read this job ad, please note, HSS can make reasonable adjustments to allow you to fully participate in the application and interview process. If this is relevant for you, please refer to the contact details under the ‘Application and Interview Support’ section of this job ad.

Your new role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and suitably experienced Principal Data Analyst within the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) Data Management team.

HRMIS Program

The HRMIS Program will replace WA Health's existing HR, payroll and rostering systems with a contemporary integrated solution as part of a key recommendation of the Sustainable Health Review and the WA Health Digital Strategy 2020-2030.

The new HR, payroll, and rostering solution, called HRplus, will transform the way pay, rosters and leave entitlements are processed for nearly 65,000 WA Health employees. The new solution will reduce many manual processes and paper-based HR forms, while providing employees with more options to securely access their payslips, leave and roster information at any time, including from their own devices.

Health Support Services (HSS) is leading the implementation of the HRMIS Program in partnership with all health service providers (HSPs) and other WA Health entities.

Your new role

As a member of the HRMIS Data Team, you will be responsible for:

·       Using data migration tools, extracts, and reports to inform the development of business rules and transformation logic.

·        Interacting with business stakeholders to understand issues and translate these into data-centric solutions.

·        Making recommendations to Program Leadership and stakeholders to help influence the data decisions of the HRMIS Program.

 

If you thrive in a fast-paced, multifaceted working environment, and possess extensive experience with the WA Health enterprise data warehouse, and legacy source systems, we would love to hear from you.
