At Service Nova Scotia, we impact every citizen, business and municipality in Nova Scotia. Our mandate is to design and deliver programs and services to meet the needs of our clients and the public good through a culture of excellence. Our vision is to be a recognized leader in service and public protection that delivers trusted, accessible, modern programs, and contributes to Nova Scotia as a safe and desirable place to live, work and do business.
The Nova Scotia Internal Audit Centre (‘IAC’) is looking for a seasoned professional to lead an internal audit team on behalf of IWK Health (‘IWK’). The IWK provides quality care to women, children, youth, and families in the Maritime provinces and beyond. In addition to providing highly specialized (tertiary) care, the IWK also provides primary care services. Additionally, the IWK is engaged in leading-edge research working to promote healthy lifestyles for families and supporting education opportunities for health professionals and other learners.
The Director will be accountable for administering internal audit activities for the IWK under the direction of the IWK’s Finance, Audit, and Risk Management Committee (‘Audit Committee’) and the Executive Director of IAC.

You’ve shown a commitment to continuous learning and keeping pace with evolving technology to meet the needs of organizations in the internet era. This includes things like exploring agile ways of working, how to communicate and collaborate with clients virtually, data analytics and visualization, and effective ways of presenting information.
The Director must have strong analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills, both written and verbal, and be able to exercise discretion while working with confidential information. You are a high-level performer with the demonstrated strong ability to multi-task, manage projects, and to lead and develop professional staff. You are also a champion of employee engagement and promote a diverse, inclusive culture where employees feel valued and engaged.
