FULL TIME

August 28, 2024

Job no: V13955
Work type: Fixed Term Full Time
Location: Any - Any location
Categories: Strategy & Policy

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) works in partnership with 15 National Boards to implement the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for health professionals. We support safe, professional practice and behaviour by Australia’s 800,000+ registered health practitioners.

About the role

The Ahpra Regulatory Experience and Engagement Team (REET) develops strategies and implements initiatives that improve the experience, trust and confidence of people connecting with Ahpra and National Boards. We are committed to the work in Identifying and minimising distress for practitioners involved in a regulatory process with recommendations to be implemented progressively over 2023–25.
This role has two key and distinct parts to it. Firstly, implementing the Expert Advisory Group recommendations and actions relating to minimising practitioner distress. This is expected to be approximately 40% of the role. The Project Manager liaises with the assigned leads on their agreed actions to check, encourage and review progress, seeking their buy-in and commitment to delivering on-time and within budget (where relevant).
The other 60% of the role involves assessing the need for an internal support service or a tailored approach for supporting and/or referring at-risk practitioners who are involved in our regulatory processes. This work culminates in delivery of an evidence-based options paper for relevant decision makers with clear, researched considerations supporting a recommended approach.
This is a full time, 12 month fixed term contract.

This is a leadership role with significant enterprise-wide impact. Your ability to build collaborative and sustained diverse stakeholder partnerships will be a key success factor in the role. Leading a small team of direct reports as well as multi-disciplinary project team, you will have demonstrable experience in project management. This includes ability to consistently meet multiple project deadlines, work with integrity and operate effectively in a fast-changing environment.

As an individual, you are pragmatic, have highly developed research, conceptual, analytical and report writing skills to enable policy interpretation, and act as a key driver for positive change. You embody our values of Respect, Integrity, Collaboration and Achievement which in turn builds on the trust and credibility you will develop with key stakeholders.

Ahpra requires all employees to comply with Ahpra policies, including our Flexible working policy.

What we offer:

A supportive and flexible working culture that supports you in achieving a balance between work and personal commitments.
