What your day could look like
As Change and Engagement Lead, you'll play a critical role in enabling large-scale transformation that strengthens care delivery across the region. From shaping enterprise-wide change strategies to partnering with leaders on high-impact programs, you'll help ensure people are ready, supported and confident through every step of change.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
Designing and driving change strategies that improve adoption and deliver lasting outcomes across major initiatives
Building trusted partnerships with executives, clinicians and teams to align priorities and guide complex transitions
Leading and mentoring a team to deliver innovative communication and engagement approaches
Using insights, data and feedback to refine strategies, strengthen readiness and embed sustainable change
Let's talk about you!
You're a strategic thinker who knows how to bring people with you. You lead with integrity, communicate with clarity, and create the conditions for teams to thrive through change. You take pride in seeing transformation land well, where people feel informed, capable and supported. You're not just managing change, you're shaping how it's experienced and sustained.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
Proven experience leading complex, large-scale organisational change
Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence at all levels
Leadership capability that builds high-performing, adaptable teams
Expertise in contemporary change, communication and engagement practices
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience in healthcare transformation or formal qualifications in change, communications or project management.
Above all, you'll bring compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage, helping create change that truly benefits people and communities.
