What your day could look like
As Director Podiatry and Exercise Physiology, you'll play a critical role in strengthening how care is delivered across a regional network. From setting strategic direction to guiding teams and services, you'll help ensure patients receive safe, high-quality, and connected care across communities.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
Leading service direction, ensuring care is integrated, efficient and aligned to health priorities
Empowering multidisciplinary teams through strong leadership, workforce planning and capability growth
Driving service innovation and improvement that enhances patient outcomes across settings
Providing expert advice and building partnerships that influence care at local and broader levels
Let's talk about you!
You're a confident and values-led leader who brings clarity, compassion and purpose to complex environments. You know how to balance strategy with people, and you take pride in shaping services that genuinely improve lives. You lead with integrity, inspire innovation, and create a culture where teams feel supported to do their best work.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
Relevant tertiary qualification with current professional registration or accreditation
Proven experience leading large or multi-site health services or teams
Strong strategic, operational and clinical leadership capability
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate widely
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have postgraduate qualifications in health management or a clinical specialty, and experience working in complex or regional healthcare environments.
Most importantly, you'll bring a genuine passion for improving care, supporting teams, and making a meaningful difference for communities every day, guided by compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage.
