About the role

Penrith Women’s Health Centre (PWHC) is looking to recruit a qualified and experienced Medical Practitioner with a genuine interest in Women’s Health, to work from our beautiful new health and wellbeing social enterprise hub in Lethbridge Street Penrith.

Tired of working under the pressure of high-volume 15 minute appointments?

All PWHC services are provided through a client-centred, trauma-informed, culturally appropriate model of care, with time for longer appointments to meet women’s needs.

The role is initially funded to 30 June 2023, with an expectation of extension subject to ongoing funding.

The successful applicant will initially work part time, up to 28 hours per fortnight, with days and hours negotiable for the right applicant. There is an expectation that as demand for clinical services grow, increased hours will be offered to enable clinical healthcare services to be offered 5 days per week (Monday to Friday).

It is a condition of employment in the role that the successful applicant is vaccinated for COVID-19 and will comply with PWHC’s COVID safe plans.
