The Role

The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.

The purpose of the Clinical Support Officer (CSO) is to provide timely and accurate administrative and transactional services for members of the health care team on designated ward(s)/unit(s) under the direction of a NM/NUM. The CSO will work under broad supervision but will be required to take some independent action. Scope exists for exercising initiative in the application of established work practices and procedures. Decisions affecting the overall functioning and management of the ward/unit remain the responsibility of the NM/NUM.

The Clinical Support Officer (CSO) role is a ward/unit based and supports the work activities of nurses, medical staff and allied health staff, with locally determined shift time based on ward/unit service delivery needs. The CSO may provide CSO functions across the health facility or to more than one ward/unit. The CSO works closely with existing administrative staff such as ward clerks and communication officer at the ward/unit level. The role will complement existing roles systems and processes in each organisation.
