Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada The Government of Nova Scotia Full time
About Our Opportunity

This is a unique chance to make a significant impact on the health of Nova Scotians, the quality of public mental health and addiction services, policies, and programs, and the sustainability of the health system.

The Program Director for Mental Health and Addictions will lead a team of senior professionals, project managers, policy analysts, and strategy staff, providing direction for the development and delivery of multiple plans and strategies that improve access to treatment for mental illness and addictions, improve the mental health of the population, and address health inequities.

The Program Director will approve plans and strategies, make recommendations to senior leadership on major initiatives, and contribute to the development of frameworks and policies by working with partners in other departments and identifying new innovative opportunities, programs, and initiatives to further develop and strengthen Nova Scotia.

You will achieve this by:

  • Designing, developing, and delivering reporting and accountability mechanisms, ensuring plans are aligned with overall Government strategy.
  • Leading and monitoring the compliance of programs.
  • Championing the further development and strengthening of opportunities in Nova Scotia through cross-government collaboration.
  • Maintaining effective and collaborative relationships with provincial, federal, and international governments, partners, and organizations.

You will represent the Department on government, industry, public/private, inter-department, and internal committees, project teams, and at conferences and meetings.

Qualifications and Experience

As our next Program Director, you will have completed post-secondary education in health or social sciences, combined with several years of related experience in the design and development of policies and programs.

Your work experience includes leading large teams of professionals across multiple locations and remotely, solving complex problems, and demonstrating an ability to forge strong relationships of trust and collaboration across diverse groups and communities.

You promote working in a highly collaborative, human-centered environment where you can balance both the citizen and employee as priorities.

You understand the programs delivered by our government and have demonstrated the ability to multi-task where stakes are high.

You are committed to service excellence and place high value on ensuring that the people you lead come to work in an environment that is inclusive, equitable, and allows them to bring their best self to work every day.

The Government of Nova Scotia has adopted the LEADS Leadership Framework. During the interview, candidates will be expected to express how they have demonstrated the key behaviors and capabilities required to effectively lead in a caring and inclusive environment.

We will assess the above qualifications and capabilities using one or more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentations, interview(s), and reference checks.
