• Drive the strategic transformation initiatives of NSW’s largest private hospital 

Taking care of people is our reason for being    

At Sydney Adventist Hospital, fondly known as the San, caring for people is at the core of who we are. It’s what drives us to deliver exceptional outcomes for our patients and it’s a shared sense of purpose that extends to everyone who works here. 

When you join our team, you’ll feel valued and supported by our strong commitment to learning, flexibility, great benefits and a positive culture of teamwork and cooperation.   

Some of the exceptional benefits we offer include 

• As a not-for-profit, we offer salary packaging that can reduce the amount of tax you pay, which can leave you with thousands of dollars more in your pocket. 
• Discounted gym membership for you and your family using Fitness Passport 
• Great on campus amenities including cafés, gift shop, florist and even a hairdresser 
• Plus, many more! 

What you will be doing in this role 

You'll take the lead on key initiatives that drive meaningful change and improvements across people, process and transformation initiatives (ie. this is not an ICT project manager role). You’ll align projects with our mission to optimise processes and deliver maximum value.  

Alongside the Project Management team and reporting to the Director of Transformation you’ll lead key business growth areas to redefine how we work and deliver business growth. By collaborating closely with executive and director-level leadership, you’ll influence decisions, solve complex challenges, and ensure that projects are aligned with our strategic goals. 

Your responsibilities will include leading change and improvement projects in clinical and operational areas, managing project governance, and reporting on risks to ensure successful delivery. You’ll also help develop a streamlined PMO reporting structure that provides clear insights for stakeholders, and mentor teams to identify skills or capacity gaps, and recommend solutions to ensure projects are delivered on time and smoothly integrated into daily operations. 

We are open to either full-time or 4 days per week for this role.  

Who we’re looking for 

To excel in this role, you’ll have a strong understanding of hospital operations along with significant experience in delivering and implementing projects, leading front-line healthcare teams, managing change, clinical re-design and/or driving continuous improvement within a hospital environment. 

• You’ll consistently deliver key results by providing effective leadership and oversight, as well as fostering individual skill development and competency growth. 
• You’ll be agile and adaptable, swiftly adjusting project plans and methodologies to meet the evolving demands of the private healthcare environment, patient needs, and organisational priorities. 
• You’ll drive financial performance by managing project budgets, ensuring cost efficiency, and meeting financial targets set by the AHCL Board and Executive Team.  
• You’ll cultivate and nurture strong, positive relationships with diverse stakeholders including senior leaders, clinicians, and staff. 

To help stand out from the crowd, please include a covering letter addressing the following:  

This role requires working with Clinical Directors, NUMs, AMOs and Executive Leads — often with differing incentives. Describe a time you influenced clinical stakeholders who did not initially support a change. What specific strategies did you use? (200 words max).
