We are currently seeking to appoint a part time Helpdesk Operator at our hospital site located in Waratah, Newcastle. Reporting to the Helpdesk Manager this position requires an organised and professional individual who has the ability to work autonomously, has excellent communication skills and intermediate computer skills.
