**Type of Employment**:Permanent

**Union Status**:Exclusion - Non Union - NSPG

**Closing Date**:2/6/2023 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)

**Designation Status**:
Our goal is to be a diverse workforce that is representative, at all job levels, of the citizens we serve. Under the Government of Nova Scotia’s Employment Equity Policy, this position is designated and therefore, only applicants from the following group will be considered: Indigenous People, African Nova Scotian and other Racially Visible Persons, and persons with Disabilities.

**About Us**:
The Department of Health and Wellness offers opportunities to grow and advance in a dynamic sector that touches the lives of all Nova Scotians. Along with our partners, including the Nova Scotia Health Authority and the IWK Health Centre, we’re committed to continually improving our health care system. With a focus on continual improvements within the Health System, the department is thinking differently about how to plan, fund, legislate and monitor to improve access and service delivery. To do this, we need leaders at all levels of the organization who embrace a challenge and believe in their ability to make a difference.

The Office of Addictions and Mental Health (OAMH) works closely with the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA), and the Izaak Walton Killam Health Centre (IWK) Mental Health and Addictions programs (MHAP). The goal is to ensure that Nova Scotians receive the right service, at the right place, at the right time by the right care provider. OAMH partners with numerous community-based organizations to fund and support the delivery of important mental health and addiction services. In addition to traditional mental health and addiction support, our work also includes interventions and actions that will help address the social determinants of health, including collaboration with our partners within and across government departments. OAMH is responsible for ensuring harm reduction and anti-stigma approaches are taken in delivering mental health/addiction care in Nova Scotia.

**About Our Opportunity**:
Reporting to the Program Director, Office of Addictions and Mental Health (OAMH), the Community Liaison Coordinator is a key member of the Branch whose role is to drive initiatives that are focused on enhancing community wellness. This position provides evidence-based research, policy analysis, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation for the creation, implementation and evaluation of a structure that will support liaising with community organizations identified as contributing to the efforts to enhance community mental health and wellness.

There are no direct reports associated with this position though the successful applicant will have opportunities to work collaboratively with other members of the team, exploring leadership competencies to help ensure OAMH operational needs are met.

**Primary Accountabilities**:

- Providing leadership to complex addictions and mental health system projects, across the continuum of addictions and mental health, with significant coordination and collaboration across multi-sectors - department, government (e.g. Finance and Treasury Board, Municipal Affairs and Housing), health authorities and community-based organizations (e.g. system performance evaluation and monitoring, indicator development, gap analysis).
- Development of system strategy, standards, legislation, and grant frameworks related to community organizations contributing to community wellness.
- Implementation and monitoring of a comprehensive accountability framework. Developing strong governance in organizations that deliver on key indicators of impact and intended outcomes.
- Leading multiple teams and providing functional direction to staff in various working groups, both within the branch and collaboratively with staff from other branches and/or departments. (e.g. internal working groups to identify strategies to improve health system performance, monitoring of health system outcomes and performance measures, etc.).
- Ensuring the effective management of financial resources by setting and evaluating organization performance targets, promoting diversity and a healthy, respectful workplace, monitoring Grant expenditures.

**Qualifications and Experience**:
A post-secondary degree in a related discipline (e.g. social science or health and human services) with demonstrated related management experience; an acceptable equivalent combination of education, training and experience may be considered.
