Achieve Something Great
Join a high performing, supportive Clinical Governance Unit committed to improving patient outcomes and safety across SWSLHD. In our fast paced, outcomes focused team, you’ll work with professionals who value collaboration, kindness, respect, and innovation. You’ll contribute to major districtwide initiatives, including REACH, Between the Flags, SAER improvements, and clinical quality reporting, while engaging with senior clinical leaders, statewide partners, and multidisciplinary teams.

Are You the Right Fit?
We’re looking for someone with strong skills in ims+, incident management, data analysis, and system governance. You understand patient safety principles, SAER processes, and quality improvement, and you can train, coach, and influence staff at all levels. You’re analytical, organised, detail focused, and able to manage competing priorities independently or within a team. Experience with Power BI, dashboards, death review systems, or clinical information platforms is highly valued, along with a commitment to continuous improvement, patient centred care, and a culture of safety and transparency across SWSLHD.

2. Provide an example of a patient safety quality improvement initiative you have led or supported in a healthcare setting. Explain the context, your role and contribution, the methodologies used (e.g. data analysis, dashboard reporting, SAERs, focus groups), and the outcomes achieved. In your response, highlight how you collaborated with internal and external stakeholders to drive sustainable change, and describe how you evaluated and monitored the initiative to ensure its long-term impact and alignment with patient safety goals.
