Chief Executive Officer, Department of Health
The newly elected Northern Territory Government has signalled a clear mandate for change by announcing a reform agenda to deliver major improvements in service delivery and community outcomes. The Government now seeks to appoint an outstanding Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to provide contemporary leadership, drive reform and deliver ongoing stability for the Department of Health. CEOs and agencies in the Northern Territory need to be agile and innovative and we are looking for leaders that thrive in such an environment.
The CEO will provide high level strategic health policy and planning advice, and effective resource management and leadership in delivering a high performance health system and co-operative Commonwealth Government engagement. A key focus area is the significant improvement in indigenous health outcomes particularly in remote communities. Exciting initiatives include the new Palmerston Hospital, redevelopment of Darwin Hospital, new ICT systems and integrated health records, all directed at achieving the vision of Healthy Territorians in Healthy Communities.
This key role calls for an inclusive and contemporary leader, with a dynamic and agile approach to service delivery. Strong capabilities in stakeholder engagement and cross-agency collaboration will support the delivery of whole of government strategy. A mindset of innovation and business improvement will be complemented by strong financial and resource management, content knowledge, and a background in policy and reform. Proven leadership of a client-centric service culture within a diverse environment, combined with unambiguous communication, complete the ideal candidate profile.
Be one of the exceptional leaders that will shape the current direction and future success of the Northern Territory.
