This position plays a significant role in ensuring sustainable and high-quality patient care delivery across the Territory and surrounding area in managing sustainable services, management of risk, workforce and medical governance. Strong professional leadership of the medical workforce and the ability to deliver on both the tactical and operational elements of the Clinical Director role are vital.

The Division of Women, Youth and Children (WYC) is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Clinical Director to provide medical leadership to Paediatrics, Neonatology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology Departments and the governance of a highly skilled workforce during a time of transformational change.

In particular, well-being is a focus for WYC and a key objective for this role is to focus on the workforce experience through employee support, talent acquisition and retention, and strengthening working conditions and culture.

The Clinical Director would not be expected to have a clinical background in the specialties within WYC. The role is focused on strong governance and leadership across a mixed medical workforce. There is an opportunity for the Clinical Director to undertake clinical work within their specialty area, noting that this would make up no more than 40% of the workload.
