**About Us**:
The Department of Seniors and Long-Term Care offers opportunities to grow and advance in a dynamic sector that touches the lives of many Nova Scotians. Along with our partners, including the Nova Scotia Health Authority, the Department of Health and Wellness, long-term care facilities, home care agencies, training institutions and other sector leaders, we’re committed to continually improving the support system for seniors and others requiring home care, long-term care and other community-based supports.

In addition, the department supports the social and economic well-being of older adults ensuring policy formulation and effective decision-making as well as policy coherence across government departments as it relates to aging. The newly formed department is thinking differently about how to plan, fund, legislate and monitor to improve access and service delivery for Nova Scotia’s senior population. 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.

- Works strategically with program areas to determine improved delivery approaches that involve providers.
- Serves as the primary point of contact for other SLTC divisions and functional areas related to service provider negotiations, issue resolution, program service standard issues, contract compliance issues and risks.
- Works with Labour Relations in the negotiation of new or amended collective agreements for external service providers and service providers operated by staff of the Department.
- Supports the labour negotiation process as a key team member with Labour Relations, Finance and Program.
- Supports the home care agency Quality and Oversight process including home care agency audits as a key team member with Inspection and Compliance, Finance and Program staff.

**Qualifications and Experience**:
To be successful in this role you have a Bachelors’ Degree in a related field with several years of progressive experience in the delivery of policies and programs with some experience leading teams. Preference will be given to health care professionals. Experience in a Home Care or Long-Term Care setting is considered an asset.

In this role you have demonstrated knowledge of developing and administering policies & programs while working in a complex stakeholder environment. You can lead change, move forward new initiatives, and overcome ongoing systemic challenges.
