These roles offer competitive executive packages, relocation support, and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy within a healthcare organisation.

Strategic Advisory

Lend your expertise to guide health services through reform, restructure, or growth. Advisory roles offer board-level influence, strong remuneration, and the freedom to contribute at a system level without the demands of day-to-day operations. Ideal for DMSs seeking portfolio careers or project-based impact.

Prescript has been great to collaborate with. Working with Nadine who has been so professional and helpful at every stage of my journey in the world of locums and telehealth has been nothing short of exceptional. Highly recommend them.
