The Department of Health and Wellness offers opportunities to grow and advance in a dynamic sector that touches the lives of all Nova Scotians. Along with our partners, including the Nova Scotia Health Authority and the IWK Health Centre, we’re committed to continually improving our health care system. With a focus on continual improvements within the Health System, the department is thinking differently about how to plan, fund, legislate and monitor to improve access and service delivery. To do this, we need leaders at all levels of the organization who embrace a challenge and believe in their ability to make a difference.
As the Health Protection Consultant, you will play a key role in providing leadership and shaping the strategic direction of Health Protection programs in Nova Scotia, including communicable disease prevention and control, and immunization. You will apply current evidence and best practices to support program development; develop, implement, and assess policies, standards, and guidelines; and monitor these activities to ensure quality, consistency, and effectiveness.
Reporting to the Director, Health Protection, you play a lead role in the development of provincial, evidence‑informed health protection policies, standards, and guidelines, and in providing expert advice to senior leadership on legislation and regulation. You synthesize scientific evidence and national and international guidance, assess risks and system‑level impacts, and collaborate on strategic policy direction related to communicable disease prevention and control, immunization, and emerging health protection issues under the Health Protection Act.
You provide strategic leadership to translate policy into operational practice and strengthen system‑wide performance. This includes leading complex projects aligned with Public Health priorities; managing objectives, resources, timelines, and risks; monitoring program performance; and delivering clear operational guidance, recommendations, and briefings to support consistent and effective implementation across the provincial health protection system.
You represent the province and provide leadership in cross‑sectoral and intergovernmental collaboration to advance health protection outcomes. This includes working with Nova Scotia Health, provincial and federal partners, and external stakeholders; contributing to federal‑provincial‑territorial committees; serving as a provincial lead in communicable disease, immunization, and outbreak response; and overseeing financial and resource planning to ensure accountable and effective use of resources.
You possess either a bachelor’s degree in Nursing or Public Health Sciences plus minimum six (6) years of experience or an equivalent combination of training and experience. Credentials as a Registered Nurse or Certified Public Health Inspector are required.
You bring demonstrated experience in health protection, including communicable/infectious disease prevention and control, immunization, policy and program development, implementation and evaluation, and outbreak management. You have strong analytical and assessment skills, experience applying evidence to system‑level decision‑making, and a solid working knowledge of the Health Protection Act.
Knowledge of the social determinants of health as they relate to communicable disease risk is essential.
You are a strong leader and collaborator with the ability to build partnerships across the Public Health Branch, Nova Scotia Health, and provincial and national committees. You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including risk communication; strong organizational and decision‑making abilities; and the capacity to manage competing priorities.
We will assess the above qualifications and competencies using one or more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentations, interview(s), and reference checks.
An equivalent combination of training, education and experience will be considered. Related equivalencies may include, but are not limited to:
Applicants relying on education and experience equivalencies must demonstrate such equivalencies in their application.
