Who We Are

We are a health service that touches thousands of lives across the Northern Sydney Local Health District, together as a team of like-minded people. We are passionate, driven and have the skills and knowledge to care for our patients whilst creating the best services possible. Our teams have meaningful, interesting and rewarding work every day. We challenge and nurture each other, sharing our knowledge and experience so that we can deliver better care for everyone. There’s a real sense of belonging here because we value and respect our patients, employees, and teams’ voices.

What You Will Be Doing





As part of a significant transformation of the People & Culture function, NSLHD has reimagined how it supports leaders, employees and services across the District. We are seeking an exceptional people leader to join our senior leadership team as Director, People Experience & Capability, a newly evolved role designed to lead the strategic integration of workforce capability, leadership development, organisational culture, employee experience and change.

This is far more than a traditional organisational development or learning role. Reporting directly to the Executive Director, People & Culture, and working alongside the Director, HR Business Partners and a team of passionate HR professionals, you will lead the strategic design and delivery of initiatives that strengthen workforce capability, leadership effectiveness, employee engagement and organisational culture across the District.

About You

You are an accomplished People & Culture leader with demonstrated success leading workforce capability, organisational development and culture initiatives in large, complex organisations.

Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Learning and Development or a related discipline and/or significant experience in similar senior leadership role.

People of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background are encouraged to apply.
