This is a recruitment process for a Permanent / Fixed-Term appointment for full-time hours, with the possibility of extension and/or permanency.

This is where jobs become careers, passion finds its purpose, and your voice finds its place. Are you ready to dive headfirst into the community taking excellent health care where it's needed? Then South Metropolitan Health Service is the perfect place to start!

SMHS delivers quality, safe and effective hospital and health services within a catchment area stretching more than 3300 square kilometres across the southern half of Perth.

Our vision is Excellent health care, every time. You can read more about SMHS in our Strategic Plan here.

Are you accountable, professional, and committed to the care and wellbeing of others? We are seeking an adaptable, motivated, and suitably experienced Organisational Development Officer to join the South Metropolitan Health Service (SMHS) team.

Organisational Development at SMHS consists of a diverse portfolio that currently spans the breadth of leadership development, learning management systems, capability building, wellbeing, culture, and engagement.

The Organisational Development Officer works collaboratively across the organisation and within the Transformation Directorate to develop and implement OD strategies, plans, and initiatives. Driven by a commitment to continuous learning and excellence, this critical work improves organisational culture, capability, and performance. Because caring for patients starts with caring for our staff, this role is pivotal in ensuring our workforce is supported, engaged, and aligned with legislative requirements. In addition to driving core projects, you will have the opportunity to work with our inaugural Chief Wellbeing Practitioner.

As the Organisational Development Officer, you will embody teamwork, engaging with stakeholders across all SMHS sites. By building mutually respectful relationships across clinical and non-clinical disciplines, you will apply an organisational development lens to systemic challenges. Your organisation and communication skills will be key to developing resources, supporting initiatives, and co-designing approaches across our portfolio.

If you are passionate about enhancing employee experiences, thrive in a fast-paced, multifaceted working environment, and are eager to contribute to our shared purpose of a One SMHS approach to deliver excellent health care, every time, we encourage you to apply.

Our Values guide our work in every action, and that includes recruitment and employment!

Eligibility

Are you eligible? 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 embraces diversity and is committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of our service. We are committed to growing the Aboriginal workforce as a part of WA Health’s Aboriginal Workforce Policy and as a measure to achieve equality, Section 51 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 applies to this position. Aboriginal people are encouraged to apply.

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.

Lodgement is system generated. Any submissions on, or after, 4:00pm on the closing date will not be accepted.

LATE OR EMAIL APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
