Other
Conditions: 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.
Please note this recruitment process requires
completion of satisfactory Pre-Employment Health Assessment (PEHA).
Any offer of employment with WA Country Health Service (WACHS) is
conditional on satisfactory PEHA to ensure you are able to perform
the inherent requirements of the position. An unsatisfactory PEHA
will result in the offer of employment being withdrawn. Please see
the attached WACHS PEHA Policy for further information.
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.
