• Make an impact on the health and wellbeing of all Victorians!
• New roles working on an exciting new strategy

VicHealth is the world’s first health promotion foundation. Established by the Victorian Parliament in 1987, we were the first agency of our kind worldwide to utilise a tax on tobacco to support independent, long-term, evidence-based health promotion practice, partnerships and leadership. We continue to be a global leader in health promotion, as a Collaborating Centre with the World Health Organisation and technical partner to UNICEF.

We currently have 3 new Domain Assistant positions available at an early career level to work within our Future Healthy Group, whose aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of young Victorians and those facing barriers to accessing these opportunities.

You will report directly to your Domain Manager and under the guidance and supervision of a senior Lead. You will support the delivery of effective health promotion programs and initiatives, in close partnership with teams across the entire organisation and with external partners.

In these exciting new roles, you will be responsible for assisting teams with project support and for assisting teams that are seeking to influence systems change in order to meet strategic outcomes and objectives.

You will have an opportunity to work on projects and programs relating to Active Communities, Sport, Social Connection, Mental Wellbeing, and Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems.

We are looking for highly driven candidates with a can-do attitude and a systems-based mindset, who are comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities in a fast-paced working environment.

The ability to use initiative, problem solve, and to work collaboratively within a strong team environment will also be primary factors that we will be looking for.
