At the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, every role helps children and young people live their healthiest lives.

As the largest paediatric health service in Australia, we care for thousands of children each year, in hospital and at home. Our people are united by compassion, collaboration and excellence in care.

What You'll Be Doing

Providing Enhanced Access to Health services (PEACH) program is an innovative project established at the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN). The aim of this project is to develop sustainable pathways and technological solutions that enhance access to health services for children and young people from priority populations. The purpose is to address health inequities and improve access to appropriate health services and programs. The target groups include children and young people who are culturally and linguistically diverse (migrants, refugees and asylum seekers); identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, live in out of home care (OOHC); live with a disability or are at high risk of a disability; socioeconomically disadvantaged; identify as other priority populations.

The Priority Populations Care Navigators (PPCNs) will work across SCHN and with the PEACH Working Group and Steering Committee to facilitate implementation of PEACH. The key focus of the PPCNs is to develop and implement new SCHN-wide systems and navigation pathways to identify patients from priority populations and to deliver enhanced healthcare access, utilising technology to assist where possible.

The PPCNs will undertake project management tasks, including monitoring and reporting progress against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and building capacity and driving cultural change through engaging staff and key stakeholders including families and carers. These steps will be critical to ensuring sustainability of the PEACH Project beyond the funding.

The program involves collaboration with Local Health Districts and other external partners, as well as SCHN treating teams and departments such as SCHN Diversity Health, Refugee Health, NDIS Transition Coordinators and Aboriginal Health. This position sits within Priority Populations, a clinical program within the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN).

Additional Benefits (where applicable):

• Flexible work opportunities
• Salary packaging and meal entertainment benefits
• Accrued days off (ADOs)
• Fitness passport
• Employee assistance program (EAP)
