Hello, are you… An innovator? A problem solver? A team player? A customer focused thinker? Committed to helping others? Interested in contributing to the health of all Western Australians?

HSS Planning and Architecture provides strategic advice and guidance to the WA Health system for the design, development, implementation, and ongoing support of digital technologies in support of quality healthcare outcomes. We expedite the development of bright ideas into digital health innovation, and we are at the pointy end of engagement with our customers for new digital services and the development of solution architecture and designs. We provide digital expertise into some of the most exciting healthcare infrastructure developments in the state, and we drive the strategic direction, planning and delivery of the frameworks, principles, policies, standards, specifications, and architecture roadmaps that underpin the development and support all digital services across WA Health.

If you read that and thought, “this sounds like the place for me”, then you could be in luck.

Your new role

HSS Planning and Architecture currently has three (3) substantive vacancies in our senior leadership team – the Manager Customer Engagement and Solutions, the Manager Digital Facilities Architecture, and the Manager ICT Strategy and Planning – and we are seeking suitably experienced, interested, (and interesting) individuals to help lead this critical function. We need people that can talk to other people, that can translate technical concepts into business understanding, and business requirements into technology direction. We need people that are passionate and focussed, maybe even a bit stubborn about delivering for their customers – knowing that what we do helps deliver healthcare to patients and clients throughout Western Australia. We need people that can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. They can pound a keyboard, run amok on a whiteboard, or even strap on their steel caps and hard hats and engage with construction teams on-site. And they need to be just as comfortable briefing our senior executive and clinical leadership.

And we need people that can run teams, full of people just like this.

You will be very busy, but you will never be bored, and you will always have the potential to make a positive difference.
