With 149 inpatient beds, 11 operating theatres, 18 ICU-level beds, day therapy and radiotherapy services, we offer advanced technologies in a purpose-built facility designed to support patients and staff alike.

About the team:

The Peri-Operative Admin team is fast-paced, highly collaborative and deeply supported. We pride ourselves on looking after each other as much as we look after our patients. Team members are cross-trained across multiple functions - from theatre list co-ordination and surgical bookings to admissions and pre-admission clinic support – meaning no two days look the same. If you thrive on variety, enjoy being part of a close-knit team and want your work to directly impact patient care, this is the environment for you

Looking for a role where no two days are the same? Our Peri-Operative admin team is hiring Admission Officers who are genuinely all-rounders – ready to rotate across Day Surgery, Surgical bookings, front desk, surgical prep and more depending on where it is needed within the department. You’ll be training across every function and supported the whole day. Multiple positions available – full time and casual
