Overview

Work Type: Fixed-term - Full-time

Salary: $142,790 - $191,084

Grade: VPS 6

Occupation: Administration

Location: Melbourne - CBD and Inner Metro suburbs

Reference: VG/1934030

The Department of Health plays a critical role in the Victorian health system and is responsible for shaping it to meet the health needs of all Victorians. We’re focused on
supporting Victorians to be as healthy as they can; whether through alerting them to seasonal risks like thunderstorm asthma, notifying them of contact with
communicable diseases, safeguarding their drinking water, developing the best health, wellbeing and care facilities in the world, being at the forefront of mental health and
wellbeing treatment or accelerating medical research. It’s all part of the way we partner with the community to help every individual lead a healthy life.

Reporting to Director, Strategic Policy & Projects, the Manager will lead internal consultancy project teams and support other divisions to deliver high quality policy advice and strategic projects across the department. The role will provide clarity, insights and innovation in how the department shapes strategic solutions to improve the health, wellbeing and safety of Victorians. As part of an internal cross-department consultancy service, you will be responsible for leading and supporting project teams to research, develop and promote strategic health and cross-portfolio reform.

The Manager leads and delivers strategic projects. This includes working both within project teams and through flexible deployments within branches across the Department of Health to scope, define and research problems and develop evidence-informed and innovative solutions. This will often require the Manager to lead the synthesising of contemporary information, bespoke data analysis, and facilitating external and internal engagement to gain the support of key stakeholders to deliver the recommended solutions.

About us:

At the Victorian Department of Health we want a future where Victorians are the healthiest people in the world. A Victoria where our children and people thrive, our workplaces are productive and safe, and our communities are more connected.

We see it as our job to support Victorians to stay healthy and safe. And to deliver a world-class healthcare system that ensures every single Victorian can access safe, quality care that leads to better health outcomes for all.

About you:

The role seeks high performing individuals with strong people management, policy development and implementation, stakeholder management, project management and communication skills. The role would be suited to individuals who are self-starters and are comfortable working with unfamiliar and complex issues, multidisciplinary teams and in collaboration with a range of senior internal, external and cross-government stakeholders, including clinical stakeholders. Consulting experience would be an advantage.

A tertiary qualification in fields related to public health, public policy or health administration would be desirable.
Significant knowledge and experience in government, health systems and/or health service delivery would be desirable, with skills and experience in policy development and implementation.
Use of data analytics and data visualisation to support policy design and decision making, impact assessment, and/or health economics/economics is highly regarded.

What we offer:

The opportunity to perform meaningful work, making direct contributions toward enabling Victorians to be the healthiest people in the world.
A wide range of growth and development opportunities within the department and wider Victorian Public Service & Sector.
A strong commitment to work-life balance, including a diverse array of flexible working arrangements.

How to apply:

We are committed to developing and supporting a workforce that is well equipped and highly motivated to provide responsive and quality services to all Victorians. We continue to build an inclusive workplace that embraces diversity of backgrounds and differences to realise the potential of our employees for innovation and delivering services aimed at enhancing the lives of all Victorians. All roles can be worked flexibly and we encourage applications from Aboriginal people, people with disability, LG BTIQ+ and people from culturally diverse backgrounds.
