  • Integrating evidence-based health promotion frameworks and safety management systems into organizational practices and initiatives.
  • Developing and nurturing a broad network of relationships within and outside the Nova Scotia Health community to support the creation of a safe and healthy work environment.
  • Contributing to policy development and review processes to ensure they align with and enhance the health and wellness goals of the organization.

We are seeking a candidate with a Master's degree in Health Promotion/Education, Organizational Development, Community Development, or a related field, with a minimum of 2 years of experience in workplace health promotion, or a Bachelor's degree with at least 4 years of relevant experience.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrated expertise in content delivery, program development, and educational facilitation, as well as strong planning, strategic thinking, and evaluation skills.
