About the Role
We are looking for a Compliance Officer to join our Patient Safety and Quality team on a Part time (0.8 FTE) basis at our Belmont office. This is an opportunity to build your skills in compliance, assurance and governance while supporting the day-to-day work of the team at St John WA, a large and complex health and emergency services organisation. Working as part of the Compliance team, you will assist with a range of activities, including compliance monitoring, internal assurance, quality management, complaints and investigations, policy governance, regulatory compliance, privacy and information governance. You will gain experience across the Compliance function and gradually build your knowledge in a particular portfolio as your skills develop. Depending on organisational priorities, experience and capability, this may include Assurance and Quality; Complaints and Investigations; Policy and Regulatory Compliance; or Privacy and Information Governance. You will work with colleagues across operational, clinical and corporate teams to assist with reviews and assurance activities, gather information, help respond to compliance queries and flag issues for further review. Your work will contribute to improving systems and processes across the organisation.



This role offers the chance to develop broad compliance and governance skills in a safety-critical healthcare environment.
