As Senior Director, Prison and Youth Detention Health Services (PYDHS), you will lead the strategic and operational delivery of multidisciplinary health care to adults and young people in custody across the region. Responsible for a workforce of more than 300 staff and a $90 million operating budget, this role is central to improving long-term health outcomes and advancing equity for some of Queensland’s most vulnerable populations.
You will bring senior-level leadership experience in health service delivery, ideally in custodial, primary, or preventative health, alongside demonstrated capability managing large operational teams, significant budgets, and clinical governance frameworks.
