This is a Permanent Full Time appointment.

Position Profile:  The Digital Communications Adviser supports the development, delivery and continuous improvement of WA Health's websites, intranet and related digital platforms. The role contributes to the implementation of internal and external digital communication strategies, including planning, creating and managing user-focused content that meets accessibility and best practice standards. The position works closely with internal stakeholders and subject matter experts to gather, translate and present complex information into clear, accurate and engaging digital content. Working in partnership with Health Support Services, the role also helps ensure content management systems are functioning effectively, supports enhancements to digital tools and platforms, and identifies opportunities to improve usability, performance and the overall user experience.

WA Health is committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of our service. We embrace diversity and strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and people with disabilities.
  
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.
 
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).

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.
