Frequently Asked Questions

General

What skills/qualifications do I need?

Every job at East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) has a Job Description Form (JDF) which outlines the duties, responsibilities, and work related requirements of a position. The Work Related Requirements section in the JDF lists the qualifications, skills, experience and knowledge required to be able to perform the role. 

As there are over 1,000 JDFs it is not possible to respond to individual queries regarding skills/qualifications. The JDFs can be accessed on the WA Health Jobs board by either searching current or closed advertised jobs as per the following steps:

Searching Current Jobs (for the most recent JDF):

  1. Visit the WA Health Jobs Board.
  2. Click on ‘Job Search’ in the left menu.
    1. To view all current advertised positions click on ‘Search’.
    2. To view all current advertised recruitment pools, type ‘pool’ in the Keyword Search field and click on ‘Search’ (this will result in more jobs being displayed than ‘View All Jobs’).
    3. If the position you are interested in is not currently advertised, you can search Closed Jobs (see instructions below).

    5. Press ‘Enter’ or click on the ‘Search’ button.
    6. Click on the relevant job title.
