Executive Summary
The Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) extends from Port Macquarie in the south to Coffs Harbour
in the north, along the picturesque and popular coastal strip of NSW, and serves a population of 215,000. It has a
workforce of 4,300 across seven hospital sites and 10 Community Health Centres, and a budget of approximately
$600 million.
MNCLHD is seeking a senior operational manager who will lead a range of integrated health programs across the
district. These services include Mental Health, Primary Care, Aged Care, Chronic Disease, Drug and Alcohol, Renal,
Brain Injury, Child and Family, Health Reform and the MNC Cancer Institute. Reporting to the Chief Executive
Stewart Dowrick and leading a direct team of 18, the successful candidate will:
• Provide strategic operational leadership across these services, working closely with the executive leadership
team and Governing Board;
• Foster a family and patient centred approach to integrated care with a focus on the total patient experience;
• Ensure service delivery is based on best practice, adapted to local needs and reflects the highest standards;
• Collaboratively develop and implement evidence based district-wide clinical policies, procedures and guidelines
across all services;
• Lead the implementation of integrated care models in partnership with the MNCLHD, GPs and the local
community, promoting research activities in key areas;
• Lead and inspire an established team of nursing, medical and operational professionals, ensuring the workforce
is aligned to the strategic direction of the health service during a time of significant change and reform.
We are seeking an influential hospital or health service leader with a track record of driving organisational change
across a diverse portfolio of public health services. The person may have a clinical or allied health background;
equally we will consider candidates who have come through a non-clinical career route. In all cases we are seeking
someone who can demonstrate significant achievement across a broad spectrum of areas including clinical
operations, integrated care, workforce management, governance and patient safety. Natural leadership and
supervisory abilities and a passion for sharing knowledge and skills with their team are essential attributes.
This represents a rare opportunity to lead clinical and organisational change within this dynamic health service and
across a thriving and diverse community environment.
