We're on a mission to achieve excellence in health, healing and learning through working together, which is reflected in the hospitals, health centres and community-based programs we operate across the province.

Our passionate team of professionals provides a variety of high-quality inpatient and outpatient services including academic, tertiary, and quaternary care, as well as continuing care, primary health care, public health, and mental health and addictions.

Join a diverse team of innovators, collaborators and creative thinkers today.

About the Opportunity:

QEII New Generation is an initiative to realign care and services from the aging Victoria and Centennial buildings on the Victoria General Site of the QEII Health Sciences Centre.

In addition, the initiative will map out a plan for future service delivery at key sites in Central Zone.

It includes multiple sub-projects including renovations and new construction at the Halifax Infirmary, Dartmouth General Hospital, a new Community Outpatient Centre in Bayers Lake and more.

The complex, multi-site, multi-project, and multi-phased nature of the overall project, and the complex environment within which the work is being planned and implemented combine to form a high risk situation in which effective engagement, well thought-through functional planning, thorough operational readiness planning and strong transition management are very important activities to mitigate many types of risk.

Responsibilities:

Reporting to the Senior Clinical Director, QEII New Generation Project, the Director, Operational Readiness in collaboration with clinical and redevelopment leadership teams, is responsible for ensuring the seamless transition of hospital operations from the current operating state, through to the new operating state (across multiple locations).

The Director, Operational Readiness will provide leadership and oversight to the development of operational work plans that will allow all programs and services impacted by redevelopment activities to achieve successful transition to full operations.

Operational Readiness/preparedness, change management and sustainability principles are critical in guiding the successful transitions to new buildings, new sites and new care environments.

Master's degree in a health discipline or business administration or enrollment in an appropriate degree program with a committed completion date
