The ACT Ambulance Service (ACTAS) provides emergency, non-emergency and aeromedical ambulance services to the ACT and south-eastern New South Wales.

Politically astute, you enjoy creating positive environments that encourage dedication to delivering high standards of service and new ways of thinking.  The role will play to your strengths in leadership, communication, resilience, diplomacy and change management and will provide you with the forum to contribute to the Emergency Services Agency’s next level of success.  Sound like you?
