You'll guide multidisciplinary teams, drive service innovation, and enjoy the lifestyle, professional growth and meaningful relationships that come with regional healthcare leadership.

What your day could look like

You'll help create healthier, more connected communities by leading services that support older people to live with dignity, independence and quality of life.

You enjoy bringing people together around a shared purpose and take pride in creating environments where teams thrive and communities benefit. Most importantly, you're passionate about making a real and lasting difference in the lives of older people.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

• Relevant allied health qualification with current professional registration or recognised professional membership
• Experience leading teams and delivering high-quality services in complex healthcare or aged care environments
• Strong skills in service improvement, workforce leadership and building collaborative partnerships
