Gladstone Hospital is growing, changing and gearing up for an exciting future — and we’re looking for Casual Administration Officers to join the team!

Keep the wheels turning without being tied to a desk. Jump between departments, organise meetings, connect people and tackle the day-to-day admin that keeps Gladstone Hospital humming. We’re looking for someone who can juggle priorities, spot what needs doing and get stuck in. If you’re organised, switched-on, great with people and enjoy having a little variety in your day, you’ll fit right in.

Best of all, this casual opportunity lets you work in a rewarding healthcare environment while keeping room for the things that matter outside of work. That’s meaningful work, with a little more wiggle room.

Bring your skills, initiative and positive attitude. Be part of something exciting at Gladstone Hospital.
