**About Us**:
Alberta Health sets policy and direction to achieve a sustainable and accountable health system to promote and protect the health of Albertans. For more information on the work Alberta Health does, visit this link:
The Public Health Division provides strategic direction and leadership through the assessment, development and implementation of provincial policies, regulations, strategies, and standards in the areas of communicable diseases, immunization, compliance monitoring, environmental public health, health promotion, emergency preparedness, response and recovery.

The division carries out these functions to support innovation and engagement with Albertans in wellness, health promotion, harm reduction, as well as injury and disease prevention. To support health system quality, the division collaborates with partners in compliance and monitoring activities and enforcement of the acts, regulations and standards regarding continuing care accommodations and health services, infection prevention and control.

The Health Protection Branch oversees, leads and supports the development, implementation and review of legislation, standards, guidelines and policies to protect public health. Health Protection staff follow current issues/trends and support research into emerging and existing environmental and infection control and infectious disease public health concerns (e.g., climate change, airborne contaminants, hospital and community acquired infections) to understand these issues and the impacts they may have for public health. The Branch coordinates the emergency planning and response efforts of the health sector for the department for emergency events (e.g., pandemic influenza, business disruptions, floods and fires). The Branch monitors compliance and enforcement regarding physician billing and administers the act and regulations for protection for persons in care.

**Role**:
Do you have a passion for collaborative problem-solving? Do you enjoy finding trends in information and sharing your insights with others? Are you motivated to shape policies and legislation to protect vulnerable Albertans? If so, this opportunity may be right for you.

The Protection for Persons in Care Unit investigates reports of abuse in publicly funded facilities and administers the Protection for Persons in Care Act. This Act promotes the safety and well-being of adult Albertans who receive care or support services from publicly funded service providers.

The Policy and Planning Advisor (advisor) serves a key role in the Protection for Persons in Care Unit by providing analysis, options and recommendations to inform government decisions; clarifying and strengthening policies; responding to emerging issues; and leading changes to improve the delivery of services to Albertans.

The advisor contributes to the planning, organization and development of policy, standards, legislation, regulations, communications and prevention initiatives relating to abuse of vulnerable adults.

The advisor contributes to the business and operational planning of the unit and monitors and reports on the progress of activities, outputs and outcomes achieved.

The advisor supports the unit by identifying issues; conducting research and analysis; proposing recommendations and solutions; supporting performance measurement and evaluation; and developing public and internal reporting.

Some of the advisor’s responsibilities include:

- Creating and updating programs and policies.
- Planning and developing provincial initiatives to promote the prevention of abuse.
- Analyzing and reporting information related to reports of abuse and actions taken under the Protection for Persons in Care Act.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of initiatives and providing recommendations for improvement.
- Leading policy and legislation reviews for the Protection for Persons in Care Act and the two supporting regulations.
- Planning and scheduling project timelines and schedules; tracking project milestones and deliverables.
- Engaging in consultation with the public, service providers, key stakeholders, and Ministry partners.
- Delivering education and information sessions.
- Representing the branch, division or ministry on relevant working groups or committees that have a role in enhancing safeguards for vulnerable adults.
- Planning, executing and completing special projects, as assigned, either collaboratively with partners or independently, as required.

**Qualifications**:
University graduation in a field related to the position assignment (public administration, business, public policy, public health, or political science), plus 4 (four) years of related experience.
