Northwest
Work with Us/In Their
Words
A great opportunity
exists for a suitably experienced and motivated administrative
specialist to join the Kimberley Mental Health & Drug Service
(KMHDS).
This is a Fixed Term
opportunity until 02/05/2027 while the substantive occupant is on a
period of Parental Leave, with the possibility of
extension(s).
Position
Profile: The role is responsible for providing
administrative and secretarial support to the Clinical Director and
the Management Staff of KMHDS.
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).
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withdrawn.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.

Profile: WACHS Kimberley is the most northern health
region of WACHS. The Kimberley region has approximately 200
Aboriginal communities, over 34 different Aboriginal language
groups and 45 percent of the population are Aboriginal and/or
