About the Role

As an Administrative Services Officer with the South Australian Prison Health Service (SAPHS), you'll play a vital role in supporting the delivery of healthcare services across South Australia's correctional facilities.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team making a real difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to liaise confidently across diverse teams and external agencies.

• Demonstrated experience in administrative support, customer service, and working with health information systems and Microsoft Office programs.

• Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively under pressure, while maintaining confidentiality and high attention to detail.

• Solid understanding of records management standards and experience handling sensitive information in line with legislative requirements.
