Description
WA HEALTH Program Administrator (WMS Band 2)
Office of Community Health Systems
Tumwater, WA
DOH
6965
Our ideal candidate has a driving passion for the work, brings humility to their job and interactions, and understands how their actions affect others. They see the needs and objectives of others and take them into account while achieving their objectives, and they adapt their approach and expectations accordingly.
Our ideal candidate strives for engagement and partnership, even when confronted with others who are not open or collaborative. They are nimble and adaptive when faced with resistance, demonstrate resilience, and can have courageous conversations when needed.
The mission of the Department of Health is to protect and improve the health of people in Washington. The Washington Healthcare Emergency and Logistics Tracking Hub (WA HEALTH) Program Administrator supports that mission by ensuring the integrity, accuracy, quality and completeness of healthcare emergency and logistics data collected to monitor the preparedness of the healthcare system to respond to increased patient loads.
The WA HEALTH program is a surveillance platform that collects health care capacity and COVID-19 data to support public policy efforts and response decision making at the state and local level. The program sits within the Office of Community Health systems, an office focused on supporting and regulating various components of Washington State’s broader health system. WA HEALTH was stood up during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide operational insight and to support state and local decision-making regarding COVID-19 policy.
When we talk to our WA HEALTH Program Administrator about their values, they'll see themselves in words like Human-Centered, Partnership, Equity, and Excellence. They'll also see in these words a challenge to improve—personally and organizationally—in pursuit of a better impact on people and better business outcomes.
When we ask others about them, they'll describe a person of remarkable capability, diligence, and focus. They'll tell us about someone who:
Sees and understands the objectives and challenges of people they work with and people they impact.- Makes adjustments to what they're doing based on what they learn.
- Holds themselves accountable for actually helping those around them succeed, as well as achieving their own business results.
It takes personal courage, tenacity, and humility to achieve big things in this way. Our ideal candidate probably wonders whether they're up to this challenge. But they want to take it on because they're hungry for personal growth and hungry to help build this kind of business, team, and workplace culture at the Department of Health.
The incumbent may be located anywhere within the State of Washington. Telework (mobile work) is currently expected. When approved, the incumbent will work with their supervisor to identify an appropriate work schedule and balance, including telework and reporting to the Tumwater duty station for work activities, if needed.
