▷ 15h Left: Director of Nursing – Health Service Manager

WA Health is implementing a new online recruitment system, Corporate Recruitment Advertising Management System (CRAMS), which will replace the current Recruitment Advertising Management System (RAMS). If this is your first application using this new platform, an account will be automatically registered for you as you submit your first application. This platform, and your user account, is separate to the https://www.jobs.health.wa.gov.au/ recruitment platform, and therefore requires different log in details. Job applications are moving to the new system between December 2024 and July 2025. If you are looking for other vacancies within WA Health, visit https://www.jobs.health.wa.gov.au/ for all advertised jobs.
