Be the person who helps keep our busy clinical team connected, organised and moving forward! We’re looking for a Clinical Support Officer (CSO) to provide high-quality administrative support within a dynamic hospital environment. This is a varied role where no two days are quite the same, and where your organisation, communication skills and friendly approach can make a genuine difference to the people around you.

Where you'll be working: Northern Beaches Hospital features 486 beds, 50-bed Emergency Department, 20-bed general and cardiothoracic ICU, a state-of-the-art theatre complex, world-class education centre, and excellent staff facilities including café and secure on-site car parking.

About The Role: As our Clinical Support Officer, you’ll work closely with Nurse Unit Managers and colleagues across the hospital, providing reliable day-to-day administrative support and helping our teams stay organised and on track.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

• Providing a broad range of administrative support including data entry, reporting, invoicing, filing, mail management and telephone enquiries.

The challenge, and the opportunity: Healthcare is fast-paced, and this role is no exception. You’ll balance competing priorities, negotiate realistic timeframes with Nurse Unit Managers and manage deadlines across a complex hospital environment.
