This is an excellent opportunity to shape patient care, strengthen clinical systems and develop your leadership capabilities while contributing to the continuous improvement of T&O services at the RUH.

Involvement in workforce planning and transformation, and the deployment of medical staff and allied health professionals to meet healthcare challenges.

Working across teams and boundaries to engage stakeholders and influence change.
