About the organisation
We may be a small team, but we punch above our weight. We are in the serious business of transforming the health system so that it better serves the people it was built for.
We’re an innovative not for profit that delivers skills-based training, consultancy services and research to clients across the health industry. Our goal is to create a better healthcare system that serves people, not institutions. We do this by listening; through mediating crowd conversations, extracting insights from the white noise, and using human centred design to create people-centred solutions.
We are looking for someone to join our growing team in the newly created position of Policy Officer. Of course we’re interested in your expertise (we expect you to be awesome at researching prioritised policy areas and developing policy drafts, submissions and position statements) but we’re also interested in your insights, self-critical awareness, empathy, enthusiasm and ability to make us slap our foreheads and say “Now why didn’t I think of that?”.
Respectful, transparent, communicative, collaborative, accountable are not aspirational, just business as usual. So, what distinguishes us as a team?
Fearless Flying
We don’t micromanage – we assume you know what you’re doing and that if you don’t you’ll work it out.
I’ve Got Your Back
We set you up to over-achieve and help you up when you stumble
No Surprises
Failure isn’t an option. It’s a necessity. Just learn from it don’t cover it up.
“BOOM”
If it’s not fixed – we will break it. And build something that does work.
We know we’re not the right option for everyone but we’re only looking for the exceptional.
About the role
Reporting to the CEO, the Policy Officer will prepare high-quality policy drafts, submissions and position statements on system issues and reforms that affect consumer health based on extensive consumer consultation.
