About the Role
The Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN) is launching brand new, purpose-built wards at Noarlunga Hospital (NH) for General Medicine and Mental Health, with the addition of the Division of Rehabilitation, Aged and Palliative Care (RAP) occupying an existing ward as a part of the NH Uplift. This is a unique opportunity to provide support to the NH Pharmacy team. The role will also contribute to the wider SALHN Pharmacy Department. This coincides with a brand new NH Pharmacy dispensary and broader workforce expansion to support the NH Uplift.

With your attention to detail and ability to balance multiple priorities, you will help ensure staff are equipped with the tools and information they need to deliver high-quality services. This is a great opportunity to bring your organisational skills and positive approach to a collaborative team, where your contribution will be valued and make a real difference.
