Eligibility to Apply:

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.

To ensure delivery of operational objectives, the successful applicant is required to work across various LARU teams, including fulfilling functions and duties at comparable levels, in other LARU teams.
