About the opportunity

An exciting opportunity to lead, influence and shape the future of medical services at Bathurst Health Service.

Bathurst Health Service is entering one of the most significant periods of transformation in its history, with a $200 million hospital redevelopment underway that will deliver expanded and contemporary facilities, including a substantially larger Emergency Department, ehanced maternity services, new inpatient facilities and improved specialist and ambulatory care services.

We are seeking an experienced, forward-thinking and collaborative Director of Medical Services (DMS) to join our Executive Leadership Team and help shape the future of healthcare for Bathurst and the surrounding communities.

Reporting directly to the General Manager, the DMS will provide strategic, clinical and operational leadership across medical services, with responsibility for clinical governance, medical workforce planning and development, quality and safety, and the delivery of high-quality, patient-centred care.

This includes leading medical workforce planning, supporting service redesign, strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration and ensuring our clinical services are ready to maximise the opportunities created by the redevelopment.

Working in close partnership with the General Manager and Executive Leadership Team, the DMS will also help drive improvements in access to care, patient flow, emergency care performance and clinical governance, while building a positive, accountable and engaged medical workforce.

As a key clinical leader within Western NSW Local Health District, the DMS will contribute to strengthening specialist clinical networks and partnerships across the Southern Sector, particularly between Bathurst and Orange Health Services, supporting the more integrated, sustainable and equitable access to specialist care.

We are looking for a medical leader who brings credibility, sound judgement, a genuine commitment to developing people and the ability to bring clinicians together around a shared purpose. Someone who is comfortable leading through complexity, values collaboration and is motivated by the opportunity to make a lasting difference.

This is an opportunity to be part of something significant – helping shape the next chapter of Bathurst Health Service and the delivery of exceptional healthcare for our community.

About the opportunity

An exciting opportunity to lead, influence and shape the future of medical services at Bathurst Health Service.

Bathurst Health Service is entering one of the most significant periods of transformation in its history, with a $200 million hospital redevelopment underway that will deliver expanded and contemporary facilities, including a substantially larger Emergency Department, ehanced maternity services, new inpatient facilities and improved specialist and ambulatory care services.

We are seeking an experienced, forward-thinking and collaborative Director of Medical Services (DMS) to join our Executive Leadership Team and help shape the future of healthcare for Bathurst and the surrounding communities.

Reporting directly to the General Manager, the DMS will provide strategic, clinical and operational leadership across medical services, with responsibility for clinical governance, medical workforce planning and development, quality and safety, and the delivery of high-quality, patient-centred care.

This is much more than an operational leadership role. It is an opportunity to influence the future direction of a major rural referral hospital, strengthen clinical leadership and culture, and lead the development of sustainable medical services and contemporary models of care that will support our growing community.

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in ensuring the $200 million redevelopment delivers not only new infrastructure, but genuine service transformation. This includes leading medical workforce planning, supporting service redesign, strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration and ensuring our clinical services are ready to maximise the opportunities created by the redevelopment.

Working in close partnership with the General Manager and Executive Leadership Team, the DMS will also help drive improvements in access to care, patient flow, emergency care performance and clinical governance, while building a positive, accountable and engaged medical workforce.

As a key clinical leader within Western NSW Local Health District, the DMS will contribute to strengthening specialist clinical networks and partnerships across the Southern Sector, particularly between Bathurst and Orange Health Services, supporting the more integrated, sustainable and equitable access to specialist care.

We are looking for a medical leader who brings credibility, sound judgement, a genuine commitment to developing people and the ability to bring clinicians together around a shared purpose. Someone who is comfortable leading through complexity, values collaboration and is motivated by the opportunity to make a lasting difference.

This is an opportunity to be part of something significant – helping shape the next chapter of Bathurst Health Service and the delivery of exceptional healthcare for our community.

What we can offer you

· Salary consistent with the Staff specialists award including superannuation, and access to salary packaging.

Coonamble Health Service

About the role
Our rural based multipurpose sites are small hospitals and some also contain aged care. Rural nurses work across settings in emergency, acute care, aged care, chronic disease, child health, primary care, mental health, dialysis, palliative, and health promotion. Nurse work in small teams or on their own, supported 24/7 by a world leading virtual care model utilising state of the art telehealth technology.

Triage and Emergency skills are required, Skills in dialysis would be desirable but not mandatory. The working hours would include shift work.

Rural nursing is nurse-led care, so nurses are a key part of the decision-making process for client care and have more influence on healthcare delivery. At Coonamble Multi – Purpose Service you would be working with a small close-knit team.

Rural nurses are called on to respond to a broader range of emergency and health needs, hence are encouraged and supported to develop skills to work the top of their scope of practice, experiencing far greater autonomy than in larger hospitals.

Rural nursing is extremely rewarding as you build personal relationships with patients and are responsible for holistic care, taking care from start to finish - patients do not get swept away to a specialist ward as occurs in a referral hospital. By directly influencing care across the lifespan and health continuum of their community rural nurses are respected and valued members of their hometowns.
