Job Description

Posted on: August 3, 2026

Opportunity for an Orderly Manager to lead orderly services at Royal Adelaide Hospital, overseeing a large team delivering safe patient and equipment movement.

We currently have an opportunity for an Orderly Manager to join our Health and Education team and play a key role in leading the orderly workforce delivering patient and equipment movement services at Royal Adelaide Hospital. Reporting to the Executive Manager, Operations and Performance, you will help deliver safe, responsive and customer-focused outcomes that support patient care and essential hospital services. What You'll Do

This role offers a broad scope, with key responsibilities including:

  • Lead a large, orderly workforce of approximately 154 supporting day-to-day delivery.
  • Oversee timely, responsive and customer-focused patient and medical equipment movement services across the hospital environment.
  • Ensure orderly services comply with infection control requirements and SA Health Patient Care policies.
  • Build strong relationships with hospital stakeholders, clients, service leaders, suppliers and internal support teams.
  • Drive operational performance, workforce capability, continuous improvement and change across a complex service environment.

What You'll Bring

  • Previous line management experience and strong leadership capability, including experience leading large teams.
  • Demonstrated problem-solving skills and confidence navigating complex, fast-paced operational environments.
  • Strong customer and stakeholder relationship management skills across internal and external groups.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing change and improving service delivery outcomes.
  • Healthcare or hospital exposure would be advantageous, though candidates from outside the industry will be considered if they have successfully led large teams.

More than anything, you'll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients. Why Downer? At Downer, we plan, create, and sustain essential public services across Australia and New Zealand. From hospitals to data centres and defence partnerships, we manage critical infrastructure that keeps communities thriving. What It Means to Belong at Downer We're proud of our high-performance culture and commitment to diversity, offering:

  • Training and development to support and diversify your career.
  • With 30% of vacancies filled internally you'll find real opportunities to advance your career.
  • Perks@Downer: healthcare discounts, great savings on retail purchases, car purchases and much more.
  • Employee Assistance Program: professional support for you and your family when you need it most.

You want your work to matter and so do we. With over 26,000 people across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, our team is made up of individuals with unique perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas. We know that diversity makes us stronger and we actively celebrate it through our commitment to inclusion and belonging. We're committed to building a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve and we welcome people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, abilities, and lived experiences. We especially encourage applications from those whose voices have traditionally been underrepresented in our industry, including women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Māori and Pasifika Peoples, veterans, people with disability, and neurodivergent individuals. Even if your experience doesn't align perfectly with this role, we'd still like to hear from you. If it feels like the right fit, apply - potential counts, and so do you. As a WORK180 Endorsed Employer, we support flexibility that works for your life, inclusive leadership that values your voice, and equitable access to opportunity so you can do your best work and bring your whole self to it.
