Overview

Our client is a large federal government department with a diverse and integrated workforce that work together across a spectrum of activities. In this Department you’ll enjoy experiences and opportunities that, as an employee, you simply wouldn’t get with any other organisation.

You’ll join a Division that is responsible for managing a contracted workforce that delivers health services to government staff located across the country. The team manages access to a contracted network of health facilities and medical professionals.

The Opportunity

There is an opportunity for an APS6 Contract Manager to join the team on an initial 6-month labour hire contract with a 6-month extension.

The primary focus of the role is managing a Health Services Contract, which is being delivered by a large health services provider. The team ensures that the contract is being delivered effectively and that government staff are receiving appropriate access to the services of medical and health professionals.

This role offers an opportunity to work alongside an integrated workforce, join a team with an excellent culture and benefit from flexible work arrangements with a hybrid arrangement of two days from home and three days in office.

The Role
