WA Health embraces diversity and is committed to eliminating all
forms of discrimination in the provision of our service. We are
committed to growing the Aboriginal workforce as a part of WA
Health’s Aboriginal Workforce Policy and as a measure to achieve
equality, Section 51 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 applies to
this position. Aboriginal people are encouraged to apply.
WA Health engages staff in
positions of trust and responsibility. WA Health policies require
applicants to undertake a criminal records screening and integrity
checking as part of the appointment process. As well as undertaking
a criminal record screening and integrity checking, you may also be
required to undertake a working with children check (if required
for the role) and a pre-employment health assessment. We may ask
referees to comment on your integrity and past demonstration of
ethical behaviour. Please note that adverse information does not
necessarily disqualify an applicant but will be considered as part
of the appointment process.
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 twelve (12) months from when the authorised delegate
endorses the recruitment decision.
Lodgement is system generated. Any submissions on, or
after, 4:00pm on the closing date will not be accepted.
LATE OR EMAIL APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
