"I would say something that is interesting yet challenging are the fumigation cases, our involvement with that is to assess someone's compliance with legislation and process and as part of that you need to understand the process yourself.

"I always liked to be challenged and continue learning and Environmental Health has so many different areas that you can work in from a public health unit like this, local government or even policy so there are always opportunities for learning."

STARS Procedural Services team are like bookends for the patient journey, making it as smooth as possible from start to finish. 🧑‍💻

Manager of Admin Services at STARS Hayden says that working in a smaller facility means they work directly with the patients.

"Our admin team is a vital part of a patient's journey. They are often the first point of contact from when they get referred in and then the last point of contact before they are discharged back into the community," Hayden said. 
 
"We are looking for someone that has a team attitude, great work ethic and great communication skills to help give patients the best experience."
