Vacancy Reference No. 734574

This is a Fixed Term Full Time appointment for 75 hours per fortnight, with the possibility of extension(s) and/or permanency.

WA Health embraces diversity and is committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of our service.  

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).

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.

Position Profile

We are seeking to recruit a Senior Analyst within the Budget Strategy Unit to support delivery of WA Health’s annual Budget process, working closely with stakeholders across the WA Health System and the Department of Treasury.

As part of the Budget Advice, Coordination and Support team, the Senior Analyst supports a number of critical elements of the annual budget process, including development of the annual Budget and Mid-year Review submissions, development of the annual budget papers for WA Health and collation of key information to support the annual Estimates process.

What are we looking for?

Working in a collaborative team environment, you will apply critical thinking to analyse and review budget submissions and associated cost models. You will have excellent project and time management skills, ensuring your work is delivered on time. Liaising with budget holders, you will be a dynamic communicator, able to consider multiple viewpoints and suggest practical, fiscally viable solutions to meet the needs of the health system. You will be able to consider broader policy and strategic perspectives to funding requests to ensure alignment with Government and WA Health goals.

You will be a competent writer, able to communicate information clearly and concisely in a thoughtful and compelling narrative to support funding requests. You will have exceptional attention to detail with an ability to both drilldown into detailed costings and consider broader financial impacts of funding requests.

  • 12% employer contributed superannuation into a fund of your choice. For further information on superannuation click here.
