About The Opportunity

The Connected Care Service Operations Manager provides an exciting opportunity to drive innovation and lead the implementation of transformational healthcare initiatives as part of the South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) Connected Care Service. This is a pivotal leadership role focused on transforming how and where care is delivered — with a particular emphasis on delivering more care in the community, embedding digitally-enabled models of care, and strengthening clinical pathways across acute and community-based services.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking a leader with experience in successfully managing complex programs or change initiatives in a healthcare setting, with the leadership capability to guide, develop and inspire the Connected Care team. The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating a complex and dynamic environment, with a demonstrated ability to be adaptable, resilient and manage multiple competing priorities. Communication and stakeholder engagement skills are critical to this role, particularly the ability to influence and negotiate with senior leaders, clinicians and executives, and to foster collaboration across multiple services.

What You'll be Doing

The Operations Manager will be responsible for overseeing the end-to-end development and delivery of Connected Care strategies across SWSLHD. This includes managing interdependent projects, supporting the integration of Connected Care into routine practice, leading collaboration across various services to develop new models of care, and navigate complex organisational change. The Operations Manager will be responsible for managing and developing a high-performing team, as well as contributing to the development of recommendations and advice to the senior management team to facilitate executive decision making.
