Blackburn North, Australia Ambulance Victoria Full time

Patient Care Academy
Who we are and what we do
As the world we operate in continues to change and become increasingly complex, our services are in ever greater demand. Whilst Ambulance Victoria's primary role is as an emergency pre-hospital medical response provider, we are uniquely placed at the intersection of health and emergency management to tailor our services to meet different needs across local communities, to be system connectors, and to help our patients and their families to be active participants in their health care decisions.nTo enable this, AV's Patient Care Academy (PCA) draws lived experience experts, clinicians, and system partners together to create high-quality, impactful, patient-centred experiences, care pathways and models of care. Using participatory methods of co-design, we tackle topics that are important to our people and patients, and that offer opportunity for system level change.
Why we exist
The PCA's goal is to achieve AV's vision of Best Care for every person, every time - no matter their location, background, type of illness and level of care required. At its heart, the PCA exits to engage, discuss, and debate complex patient care challenges, and to develop and implement pathways and models of care that accelerate innovation and deliver improvements in patient care.
AV Care Connect
Led by the PCA, a program of work known as AV Care Connect is introducing more alternative care pathways to our service to better connect patients to the care they need. With the introduction of each new alternative care pathway, our service is supported to better manage growing demand to meet the increasingly complex needs of the community. These care pathways will support some of our most vulnerable patients such as aged care, palliative care, frequent and complex care needs, and mental health patients to remain in their home environment and avoid unnecessary transport to hospital Emergency Departments.
This is an exiting time to be joining Patient Care Academy, as we are building a new team of qualified professionals, including clinical SME and support roles to deliver this exciting and innovative program of work.
About the role
This is a full-time, 12 months fixed term appointment with a possibility to extend, based at Blackburn North Business Centre with current WFH hybrid work arrangements. Reporting directly to the Director, Patient Care Academy, the responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:

- Strategically contribute to AV's Care Connect change agenda, planning and developing palliative care programs, policies, approaches, and tools,
- Identify trends and improvement opportunities to support Best Care for palliative and end of life people,
- Provide strategic, evidence-based advice and recommendations to executive management and senior stakeholders,
- Work closely with project teams to help drive effective project management and explore impactful opportunities that can be built into aligned performance plans.

About you
This role will suit a qualified clinician with previous employment in a community and/or hospital in a palliative, chronic disease management or a related field. To be considered for this position you will possess:

- Tertiary qualification, preferably at postgraduate level in a relevant discipline
- Thorough understanding of the health system underpinned by relevant healthcare and project/ service improvement experience
- Demonstrated improvement mindset with an interest in and knowledge of Improvement Science tools and techniques
- Demonstrated experience in effectively managing and developing key stakeholder relationships within and outside the organisation
- Understanding of systems thinking and data analytics relating to improvement and innovation
- Proven ability to work autonomously and as part of a cross-functional team.
