You will also be someone who can bring structure and order to processes and systems, and support others to improve the way they work and the strength of their controls. 

You’ll be driven to make a difference for patients and our community, and always keep an eye on the greater good.  You lead by example, thrive working in a dynamic environment and are truly passionate about delivering a high standard of fit-for-purpose health services and programs to the largest public health catchment in Victoria.
