About the Dermatology Unit
The Monash Health Dermatology Unit provides adult and paediatric dermatology care to the communities of south-east Melbourne, including general and subspecialty outpatient clinics and inpatient consultations, with paediatric services delivered through Monash Children’s Hospital. The unit has an active and growing clinical trials program across adult and paediatric skin disease, and a strong commitment to teaching, research and quality improvement.
About the role
We are seeking a motivated HMO to join the unit in a part-time (0.2 FTE, one day per week) fixed-term position for the 2027 clinical year. Working as a sub-investigator under the supervision of our Principal Investigators and alongside our clinical trial coordinators, you will conduct trial visits, obtain informed consent, review and sign off results and trial paperwork, and respond to participant and monitor queries across both adult and paediatric trials.
When there is no scheduled trial activity, you will see patients in general dermatology outpatient clinics. You will also be expected to contribute to the unit’s grant applications, business cases, research projects and quality assurance audits.

- The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a part-time role
- Desirable: experience in clinical trials, dermatology or paediatrics, and in grant writing, QA audits, publications or presentations
