Exciting chance to contribute to a national project Make a meaningful impact on the lives of New Zealanders Fixed term contract (12 months), 0.8FTE (32 hours).
Hybrid/remote working.
Established in 1996 as an incorporated society with charitable status, the New Zealand Resuscitation Council sets the standard for resuscitation and first aid in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Each year, over 2,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals in NZ, with only about 11% of these patients survive to hospital discharge.
Improving outcomes for those experiencing cardiac arrest is possible by increasing bystander capability, participation and response rates, and improving access to early defibrillation.
Several strategies are already in place to address this, including public access defibrillation programmes and CPR training in schools.
The Council is looking for an experienced project management professional to scope and define the requirements to support the national rollout of the National Community Cardiac Arrest strategy and programme.
This initiative aims to emphasize the importance of community readiness to respond to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) and how a national programme will better inform community capability, clinical practice and service delivery, ultimately improving health outcomes and quality of care for all communities in NZ.
In this role, you will create and present a comprehensive business case plan/document that will serve as a call to action, inviting collaboration to drive success and save more lives in NZ.
It will detail the project's feasibility and sustainability, plans, resources, milestones, and budget for successful implementation.

Flexible hours and hybrid or remote work arrangements are available for the right candidate.
