Details: Are you an allied health professional who enjoys connecting dots, exploring complex challenges and helping shape the future of healthcare?
We are looking for someone who is curious, collaborative and motivated by the opportunity to influence workforce strategy across the ACT health system. This is a unique role that sits at the intersection of workforce planning, data, digital health and stakeholder engagement, providing an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the future allied health workforce.
In this role, no two days will look the same. You might spend one day analysing workforce trends, service pressures and emerging challenges, and the next facilitating discussions with clinicians, managers and executives to understand what the data is telling us and how it can inform decision-making. You won't need to be a statistician or an ICT expert, but you will need to be comfortable working with information, asking insightful questions and bringing people together to solve problems.
We are seeking an allied health professional who enjoys making sense of complexity and translating information into meaningful conversations and practical actions. You will be skilled at building relationships, engaging stakeholders and working across clinical, operational and strategic environments. Most importantly, you will be passionate about helping shape a workforce that can meet the health needs of our community now and into the future.
