Litton Andrews (Litton Associates Pty Ltd) – providing a Total Medical/Healthcare Recruitment and Consultancy Service with the best staffing, practice and business solutions.

Litton Andrews is proud to be partnering with one of Australia’s most respected providers of private emergency healthcare. What began as a family-led initiative with a bold vision to transform the standard of private emergency care has grown into a trusted provider operating across nine sites nationally. Our client partners with hospitals across Australia to deliver fast, patient-focused emergency services — and with strong momentum behind them, they are preparing to expand further into NSW and VIC with plans for 4–5 additional sites.

We are now seeking an experienced and highly regarded Operations Manager to join this purpose-driven organisation during an exciting phase of growth. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity (38–40 hours per week) offering hybrid flexibility (a mix of onsite and remote work), with the role based across the Brisbane CBD Head Office.

Oversee audits, inspections and incident response processes

Manage workplace health and safety incidents and responses

Manage relationships with hospital stakeholders, including the Hospital General Manager, the Administration Manager and the Nurse Unit Manager

Demonstrated leadership skills with the ability to manage and develop teams remotely

Proven track record of process improvement, project management and change management in a healthcare environment

Financial acumen with experience in budgeting, forecasting and operational metrics

Understanding of healthcare compliance and regulations, including Medicare

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to review, define and implement effective processes

A high level of accuracy and attention to detail with well-developed organisational skills

Remuneration:

A competitive annual salary in the range of $140,000 to $165,000, plus superannuation and a discretionary bonus, will be offered to candidates with the right skills and experience. In addition to a rewarding remuneration package, the organisation offers a suite of benefits including on-site car parking, a monthly Rostered Day Off (RDO), professional development opportunities, and attendance at an annual industry conference.

This is a rare opportunity to join a dynamic organisation in a significant growth phase. With plans to open three additional sites in the near future, and further expansion anticipated into the 2027 financial year, this role offers strong potential for career development and involvement in strategic, high-impact projects. While growth at this scale presents its challenges, it also brings immense opportunity for an experienced and forward-thinking Operations Manager ready to contribute to and shape the next phase of success.
