Guided by our values of Compassion, Justice, Integrity and Excellence, more than 30,000 employees come together each day to make a genuine difference. When you join St Vincent's, you'll become part of a purpose-driven organisation dedicated to shaping a better and fairer health and aged care system for all.

The Chance

We are seeking an experienced customer experience and service design professional to join St Vincent's Care at Home as Customer Experience Lead. This is a 6-month hybrid opportunity based in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne, supporting the establishment and growth of Medicare Mental Health Check-In (MMHCI), a recent national digital mental health service funded by the Australian Government.

As Customer Experience Lead, you will help shape the next phase of MMHCI by widening access and referral pathways, strengthening sector and consumer engagement, and improving the operational processes needed to support growing demand.

This is a hands-on, embedded role working alongside Operations, Clinical Design, clinical leaders and delivery partners to translate business, funder, health sector and help-seeker requirements into practical service design and delivery approaches informed by evidence, human-centred design and implementation science. You will also help build customer experience capability across the broader St Vincent's Care at Home service.

What You'll Do

- Lead MMHCI service design activities, turning strategic intent into practical and deliverable outcomes while balancing reach, sustainability and fidelity to the model of care
- Design and test access and referral pathways that engage customers and remain sustainable within the broader healthcare ecosystem
- Define what equitable access means in practice across populations and use appropriate participatory design methods to minimise barriers to access
- Partner with Operations on business process design and improvement, identifying and redesigning inefficiencies to strengthen customer experience and service scalability




- Partner with Clinical Design to shape digital service concepts and define MVP scope for recent tools and channels while protecting fidelity to the model of care
- Bridge clinicians, subject matter experts and technology delivery partners, translating requirements without diluting clinical intent
- Contribute to St Vincent's broader strategy for shifting care into home and virtual settings, helping shape new models of care with clinical experts
- Build service design capability across the team and broader organisation by coaching non-designers, sharing tools and methods, and embedding a habit of testing assumptions

About You You are an experienced customer experience or service design professional who can turn strategic intent into practical, sustainable services. You are comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and making sound decisions when the direction is clear but not every detail is known.

You work effectively in clinically governed environments and build strong relationships across clinicians, subject matter experts, technology partners, community organisations and consumers. You bring curiosity, sound judgement and a strong commitment to quality, safety and care.

Key Experience & Capability

- Minimum 5 years' experience in customer experience, service design or a closely related discipline, including experience in healthcare
- Proven experience leading customer-driven service design aligned to strategic intent and sustainability
- Experience navigating clinically governed environments and working effectively across clinicians, subject matter experts and technology partners
- Experience with customer-centred business process design and improvement, particularly as new services mature and scale
- Comfort operating in a funded, regulated and reported-on service, including government or Commonwealth-funded environments
- Experience designing for priority or vulnerable populations and building relationships with community and referral organisations
- Experience using AI tools within the design process to improve efficiency and outcomes, with a strong focus on validating outputs




- Demonstrated ability to build design capability in others through coaching and mentoring without relying on formal line management
- A relevant tertiary qualification in Service Design, Human-centred Design, Customer Experience, User Experience, Psychology, Public Health, Social Sciences or a related field
- Additional training in human-centred design, agile methodologies, customer experience management or change management where these were not part of your tertiary qualification
