Primary Objective

This Division encompasses key areas including Communicable Diseases, Emergency Management, Health Protection, Health Statistics and Informatics, and Non-Communicable Diseases. The successful applicant will demonstrate efficiency, adaptability, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced executive environment with limited supervision.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

  • Manage internal and external reporting obligations including business plans, budgets, human resourcing and corporate reporting requirements.
  • Plan and manage projects identified by the CHO, providing recommendations to support implementation of divisional priorities.
  • Summarise, synthesise and present complex reports, briefings and evidence-based advice.
  • Develop and maintain effective collaborative relationships with key internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
  • Follow defined service quality standards, WHS policies and procedures to ensure high-quality, safe services and workplaces.

Selection Criteria

  • Demonstrated experience in providing high-level executive services and support at the Executive level, including the ability to identify solutions and drive processes to meet corporate and strategic objectives.
  • Highly developed strategic, conceptual, analytical and collaborative skills, with the ability to interpret and understand the business, political and organisational environment and identify emerging issues.
  • Proven organisational and interpersonal skills to manage multiple and competing priorities within critical timeframes while maintaining quality control in a complex environment.
  • Highly developed written communication skills with the ability to prepare and edit a wide range of ministerial and agency reports with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Proven initiative, motivation, autonomy, discretion and confidentiality, with the ability to problem-solve and make appropriate decisions at the delegated level.
  • Knowledge of the health system at Territory and national levels, including current and emerging issues and initiatives within the political and organisational environment.

Why Join Us

  • Salary and conditions are excellent, including 6 weeks leave and additional entitlements.
  • Rare chance to join the Public Health team in a pivotal role.
  • It's a great time to join – this position is at the centre of the start of the national Centre for Disease Control (CDC); OCHO driving key health reforms; strengthening prevention to improve the health of Territorians; and partnering to drive Aboriginal workforce development in prevention.
