Are you ready to lead strategic healthcare projects that enhance care delivery and improve patient outcomes?

Where you'll be working
 
Reporting to the Strategy, Innovation & Digital Health Directorate, this position will be based at the Royal Hospital for Women (RHW) in Randwick. The RHW is one of Australia’s leading specialist hospitals for women’s and newborn health. Located within the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct, RHW is at the heart of cutting-edge research, education, and healthcare.

Note that whilst the primary location of the position will be Randwick, the position has a District remit and as such, may take you across the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD), which includes major hospitals such as Prince of Wales, St George, Sutherland, and Sydney Eye Hospital, providing diverse professional experiences across various specialties.

 
What you'll be doing
 
The Strategy, Innovation and Digital Health Team encompasses strategic planning functions, analytics, technology, change, and project management resources to ensure strategic allocation of resources to key organisational priorities and initiatives. Built around three key pillars, it drives and enables the delivery of key strategic and operational initiatives by developing innovative solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of service delivery. The directorate oversees the development of organisation strategies and plans, while also monitoring the implementation of such plans. This department handles SESLHD’s most pressing organisational problems and explores opportunities such as technology in Health, change and innovation and environmental sustainability practices.
 
The Priority Projects Manager is a senior role where the successful applicant will be working independently within the hospital site or district-wide service, and work directly with the General Manager, Executive or senior leadership team within their assigned location.

Applicants are required to work onsite and full time, have excellent project management skills and strong experience in leading projects across all phases of the project lifespan. Previous experience leading quality improvement projects at the hospital or District level, analysing large patient datasets, demonstrated understanding of hospital revenue/funding and operational aspects of service delivery will be highly regarded.

The role will also provide ongoing advice and guidance to local project teams around the project management, implementation and reporting requirements for key strategic projects. Strong experience is required in independently running projects at the hospital level, managing stakeholders and implementing sustainable changes.

Benefits:
 

  • Up to 12 allocated days off each year (for full-time employees) in addition to annual leave.
  • Salary packaging options that reduce your taxable income and increase your take-home pay! Up to $9K for living expenses and $2.6K meal & entertainment & Novated Leasing.
  • Discounted gym memberships with a Fitness Passport
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for employees and family members.
