Vacancy Reference
No. 720663
We currently have one full
time vacancy until 30 June 2029 with the possibility of
extension(s) and/or permanency.
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, managing
teams and are experienced in stakeholder
engagement.
Position
Description
The Manager will
lead the delivery of strategic projects and community programs to
achieve project outcomes related to the discharge of long stay
patients and will support the achievement of organisational
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).
We value the unique
diversity of experience that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
peoples, people with disability and people from culturally diverse
backgrounds bring to our workforce.
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 1985 applies to this
position. Aboriginal people are encouraged to
apply.
Other
Conditions: WA Health engages staff in positions of
trust and responsibility. WA Health policies require applicants to
undertake criminal records screening and integrity checking as part
of the appointment process. Referees may also be asked to comment
on an applicant’s integrity and past demonstration of ethical
behaviour.
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.
