With a range of Australian-first cardiac services, the IRC is a 35 day bed ward that facilitates the admission of cardiac surgery and cardiology pre-procedural patients, supporting patients requiring advanced cardiac care.
We are now looking for a motivated individual or individuals to join our team for 12 months while one of our Ward Clerks is on parental leave.

You will take pride in providing efficient, accurate and timely administrative support including registering patient information, admissions, discharges and transfers as well as ad hoc clerical tasks.

To ensure your success in this role, you can demonstrate the following skills, experience and knowledge:

• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to greet people in a professional manner and provide outstanding customer service
• Ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• Attention to detail combined with excellent computer skills
