We currently
have two full time fixed term positons available, one of which is

The
Opportunity:
There has
never been a more exciting time to work in the Intergovernmental
Relations and Community Programs Directorate at the WA Department
of Health.
A focus on
wide-ranging and high-profile national system reforms across aged
care, disability and health have created opportunities for the WA
Health system to bring about changes that positively impact the
health outcomes for our most vulnerable West
Australians.
The
Community Programs team designs and delivers strategic programs at
the interface of the hospital system and aged care, disability and
broader health and community service systems, including programs
that support timely discharge from hospital.
We are
seeking applications from talented individuals eager to work in a
team environment that is agile, dynamic and focused on delivering
positive outcomes and change across a range of
portfolios.
We are
seeking people who have proven experience in delivering strategic
projects and are experienced in stakeholder engagement.

Health’s Aboriginal Workforce policy. As a measure to achieve
equality, Section 51 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1985 applies to
this position. Aboriginal people are encouraged to

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

decision.
Other
Conditions: WA Health engages staff in positions of
trust and responsibility. WA Health policies require applicants to

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.

Islanders peoples, people with disability and people from
culturally diverse backgrounds bring to our workforce.
