Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory
Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory (AMSANT) is the peak body for Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) in the Northern Territory. It advocates for health equity and supports the provision of high-quality, culturally safe, comprehensive primary health care services for Aboriginal communities.
AMSANT aims to grow a strong ACCHS sector by supporting its Members to deliver culturally safe, high quality comprehensive primary health care that supports action on the social determinants of health, as well as representing AMSANT Members' views and aspirations through advocacy, policy, planning and research.
After more than 19 years of exemplary service, the current incumbent, Dr John Paterson, has announced his retirement. With flexibility to be based in either Darwin or Alice Springs, the CEO will work in partnership with the Board and AMSANT member services to implement the strategic vision and goals of the organisation. Key responsibilities include:
* supporting the growth and development of AMSANT member ACCHSs, strengthening the ACCHS sector in the NT;
* representing AMSANT in strategic forums regionally and nationally;
* leading lobbying and advocacy efforts to influence policy and improve broader health outcomes for Aboriginal people in the NT;
* leading, motivating, developing, mentoring and managing dedicated and close knit, but geographically dispersed, teams;
* supporting the Board to ensure strong governance standards are practiced, maintained and continuously improved.
This is a very grounded role and would suit a consummate professional experienced in oscillating between strategy, advocacy and practical engagement. Of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent, the successful candidate will be appropriately qualified with senior management experience within an organisation servicing diverse stakeholders and a proven practice of cultural competence. A comprehensive understanding of Aboriginal health issues and policies, together with an ability to demonstrate strong evidence of the capacity to collaborate and influence, is essential. Other important qualities include strategic thinking, high level negotiation, communication, organisation and financial acumen. Frequent travel is expected.
