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.
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.
