CRVCID. 717502 

This is a Fixed Term Full Time appointment for up to 5 years.

WA Health embraces diversity and is committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of our service.

WA Health supports flexible working practices within the context of a quality health service. WA Health is committed to a smoke free environment across all buildings, grounds and vehicles.

WA Health is committed to growing the Aboriginal workforce as a part of WA Health’s Aboriginal Workforce Policy.  As a measure to achieve equality, Section 51 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 applies to this position.  Aboriginal people are encouraged to apply.

Position Profile: We are seeking an experienced Director Strategic Workforce and Development who will support the achievement of the WA health system vision, mission and goals aligned to key stakeholder requirements in response to external directions and opportunities. The Director plays a lead role in relation to the workforce reform environment in which health services are delivered including the achievement of whole-of-government objectives, contributing to whole-of-government initiatives and working with Commonwealth and State agencies. The position promotes clinical leadership and stakeholder engagement in liaison with relevant health service providers, clinicians, professional groups, consumer representatives, international and national organisations, Commonwealth and the private sector in order to implement the Department’s objectives.

Eligibility to Apply: To be eligible for appointment, applicants must have a valid working visa (for fixed term appointments) or be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or have a visa to live and work indefinitely in Australia (for permanent appointments).

Other Conditions:  WA Health engages staff in positions of trust and responsibility.

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.
