The Opportunity

These senior roles will work across the full OD portfolio. You'll co-design and deliver the programs that build leadership capability, strengthen culture, and improve the experience and effectiveness of teams made up of over 6,500 talented and dedicated staff.

You'll join a well-regarded, adaptive and effective team that values expertise and follow-through. We want team members who:

• take initiative from first idea through to measured impact

• roll up their sleeves and contribute wherever the team needs it

What you'll achieve

• Co-design and deliver leadership programs, within the RCH Leadership Academy, that measurably lift capability at every level

• Evaluate rigorously so that every program improves with each cycle and can show its impact

What you'll bring

• A strong track record designing and facilitating leadership and culture development that has made a measurable difference
• A positive, proactive approach and the credibility to influence leaders at all levels
• Experience in a similar role within a large, complex organisation – healthcare experience is desirable but not essential
• An ability to utilise data to inform organisational development strategies and measure their performance impact

What we offer

• Monthly Accrued Day Off (ADO) – 12 additional Leave days per year
• RCH Hybrid working model (applicable once initial training is complete)
• A dedicated workplace exceeding staff expectations in work environment, performance measurement, leadership & career development
• Annual Salary Review and increment in line with the relevant EBA
• Support for working families with a childcare centre, infant feeding facilities and supermarket onsite
