Deputy Director Redevelopment

Your Role St John of God Subiaco Hospital

Be Part of a Landmark Transformation in Healthcare, St John of God Subiaco Hospital, Western Australia's oldest private hospital, is embarking on its most ambitious transformation yet — a multi-stage redevelopment that will redefine private healthcare in the state. This once-in-a-generation project will deliver a world-class hospital campus, setting new benchmarks in innovation, sustainability, clinical excellence, and patient-centred care.

As we prepare for the construction of our state-of-the-art Stage 3 New Clinical Building (2026–2028), we are seeking a visionary and experienced Deputy Director Redevelopment to join our dynamic team. This pivotal role will support the Director Redevelopment in delivering high-impact projects that enhance patient experience, improve clinical safety, increase caregiver and VMO engagement and ensure a seamless transition into our new and refurbished facilities — all while navigating the complexities of a live operational environment.

The Deputy Director Redevelopment will be responsible for the planning, management, delivery of outcomes and reporting to meet agreed timeframes and quality standards within allocated budgets for the redevelopment.
