Nylenka - Category Specialist

Growing up in a small country town in France, Nylenka was immersed in the public health system from an early age. With her mother working at the local hospital, she saw first-hand the impact that strong systems, supportive workplaces and dedicated people can have on communities. That early exposure shaped her desire to contribute to public health, making HSS a natural fit.

Even on challenging days, Nylenka knows the work she does plays a meaningful role in strengthening the health system. Just as important are the people she works with - supportive colleagues and managers who foster an environment built on trust, recognition and honest communication. That culture creates a positive, motivating workplace where people are encouraged to perform at their best.

Nylenka values the collaborative spirit at HSS, where diverse backgrounds and perspectives come together to solve real problems for health services. She’s also grateful for the opportunities to learn and grow, with training, trust and encouragement helping build confidence and take on new challenges.

For anyone considering a role at HSS, Nylenka recommends exploring the wide range of services on offer:

“HSS is a diverse organisation with plenty of opportunities to make a real difference and build a rewarding career.”

Tyler - Customer Insights Manager

Driven by a strong desire to support the people who care for our most vulnerable, Tyler joined HSS to make a meaningful difference behind the scenes of WA Health. With personal experience of the health system through his family, he sees his role as a way to give back - by listening, understanding challenges and helping improve systems so health professionals can focus on what matters most - patient care.

Tyler is motivated by the people he works with every day. He’s part of a team that genuinely cares about delivering good outcomes and fixing issues. The variety of his role keeps things engaging, with opportunities to work alongside nurses, doctors, operational teams and executives across the health system. Exposure to these different perspectives has helped him build flexibility, strengthen his communication skills and grow as a problem solver.

Tyler says what sets HSS apart is its openness and honesty. There’s a willingness to acknowledge where things need to improve and a genuine commitment to building better ways of working together.

For anyone considering a role at HSS, his advice is simple:

“If you want work that feels connected to something bigger, with real opportunities to learn and grow, HSS is a great place to be.”

Lenka - Graduate Officer, Communications

For Lenka, joining HSS was more than just a new role - it was the opportunity to grow professionally within a truly collaborative and supportive organisation. From the outset, she was drawn to HSS’s positive culture and being part of a team where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. That sense of connection and belonging continues to inspire her every day, with a welcoming environment and supportive colleagues making each day both motivating and rewarding. 

Since stepping into her role at HSS, Lenka has experienced significant personal and professional growth. She’s developed new ways of thinking, both critically and creatively, while building strong skills in managing multiple projects and prioritising effectively. Along the way, Lenka has also expanded her capabilities in design, boosting her confidence and enabling her to contribute even more meaningfully to team and organisational goals. These opportunities to learn have played a key role in shaping her professional journey. 

What truly sets HSS apart, Lenka says, is the size and complexity of the organisation and the way teams work together across different areas. Before joining Communications, she began her journey at HSS as a Cadet in an ICT team - an experience that gave her valuable insight into the diverse skill sets across the organisation. Being able to connect with people from different teams, learn from their expertise and access support so easily has made HSS a uniquely enriching place to grow a career.
