Spanish translation:administrador(a) de (una) residencia hospitalario' ?
Explanation:
Boarding schools in GB for example are divided into houses, and someone is assigned responsibility for the 'house' overall day-to-day opertion.

For a hospital, it may be an annexed residence for trainee nurses, and/or a residencial complex for dcoctors/nurses staying overnight etc.

So it's more specific than simply an 'administrador'. It sounds like a CV /job application and there is a poitentially dangerous confusion with 'hosptial administrator' which is a much more important and senior job.

A house officer acts as a person running a large household, basically, on a day-to-day basis, looking after meals, clean bed-clothes and that sort of thing..

If the concept of 'residential' area of a hospital doesn't exist/isn't specifically translated in Spanish, then I suggest 'administrador (a) de sección/departamento/residencia (hospitalario' or something similar

oficial interna


Explanation:
Oficial simply means she had authority - interna means in house. This is what I would use. Good luck to you!
