About the Hospital:

North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Public Hospital Bruce) and Clare Holland House are now run and operated by Canberra Health Services (CHS)This is a significant milestone as the ACT Government moves towards delivering a new billion-dollar hospital on Canberra's Northside.

North Canberra Hospital (NCH) is a 270 public hospital located in Canberra's expanding northside.

Inpatient services include general medicine, surgery, maternity, mental health and critical care.

Other service modalities include day surgery, specialist outpatient clinics, Hospital in the Home and the Geriatric Rapid Acute Care Evaluation service that reaches into aged care facilities across the ACT.

The new Northside Hospital will be built on the existing Calvary Hospital campus in Bruce.

It will be a modern, state-of-the-art hospital for patients, visitors and its workforce and will provide more beds and increased services.

This is a temporary full time (1.0 FTE) position working directly to the Executive Director Women & Children at North Canberra Hospital.

The initial temporary contract is for six months with a possibility of an extension.
