As a vital member of our nursing team, the Roster Clerk plays a crucial role in maintaining the daily rostering and scheduling of all nursing staff. This dynamic position involves proactively addressing Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) deficits in monthly nursing rosters under the guidance of Nurse Managers.

You will be responsible for arranging backfill for unplanned leave, such as sick or bereavement leave, ensuring that continuity of care is upheld across all patient areas.

• Understand the Nursing Award and Enterprise Agreement to meet required nursing hours per patient per day.
• Collaborate with the Nurse Manager of Clinical Information Systems for optimal nursing staff rostering.
• Ensure compliance with the State Records Management Standard for all official records.

What We're Looking For:

• Previous clerical/receptionist experience, preferably in a healthcare setting.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook) and experience with office equipment.
• Knowledge of general administration practices, procedures, and regulations.
• A strong commitment to customer service principles.
• An understanding of confidentiality principles and practices.
• Skills to assist with scheduling appointments and coordinating communication between departments.
