This is a Permanent Full
Time Position.
Applicants that are
determined to be suitable for the role, but not preferred, are
eligible for placement in similar roles at other Health Service
Providers within WA Health.
About
the Role
The Child and
Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) is seeking an experienced people
leader to join our team as Director Infrastructure &
Facilities Management. This role requires strong
financial, strategic and operational acumen and offers a unique
opportunity to shape and sustain environments that directly impact
patient care and outcomes across Western Australia’s only tertiary
paediatric health service, including hospital and community-based
sites.
Reporting to
the Executive Director, and working closely with executives,
clinicians and external partners, you will be accountable for
delivering high-quality, safe and compliant infrastructure and
facilities, aligned with WA Health priorities, government
frameworks, and clinical and operational requirements. You will
provide expert advice on asset management and infrastructure
investment, coordinate program workstreams, and lead high-impact
redevelopment and infrastructure initiatives that enable clinical
services to deliver exceptional care to children, young people, and
their families.
You will lead
and develop a cohesive and adaptable team, with oversight of
governance across infrastructure and facilities management
services, including major capital works, minor works, asset
management, maintenance programs, land and property services, and
office accommodation planning.
Success in
this role will depend on your ability to build strong
relationships, enable change through understanding stakeholder
needs, lead teams through competing priorities, and foster
effective multidisciplinary collaboration.
Current
infrastructure projects include:
- Acute
Mental Health Ward redesign for Ward 5A
- Cladding
Remediation
- Minor
Building Works Projects
- WA’s
Children’s Hospice – Sandcastles Boodja Mia
As many
projects are delivered within live clinical environments, success
for our teams is measured not only by work completion, but also in
ensuring works are delivered safely and efficiently, and that
operational team’s transition seamlessly into new or upgraded
facilities with minimal disruption to patient care.
Key role
responsibilities include
- Delivering CAHS’ annual
Strategic Asset Plan, overseeing budget management, funding
submissions and resource allocation
- Leading
asset lifecycle planning and infrastructure performance
optimisation
- Manage
maintenance programs, minor works and service
contracts
- Oversee
land, property and leasing arrangements
- Supporting workforce
capability and professional development and fostering a culture
of accountability, collaboration and high
performance
- Represent CAHS in
high-level forums and with external agencies
If you have
led large-scale programs and driven organisational outcomes in
complex, highly regulated environments, while maintaining strong
governance and delivery discipline, we encourage you to
apply.
Experience
within the health sector or government environment will be highly
regarded.
