What are the responsibilities and job description for the OD Consultant position at The Alfred Foundation?
Alfred Health
Alfred Health is a leader in health care delivery, improvement, research and education.

The new health service will provide people with the best possible care with services that support them throughout their lives. The merger will also strengthen our workforce, providing new training, education and career opportunities. Subject to final approval on 1 January 2026, all employees from the five health services will transfer to Bayside Health.
The Organisational Development team at Alfred Health works to understand and improve the Employee Experience and build organisational capability that helps teams perform at their best. We listen to the voice of employees, design initiatives that foster wellbeing and connection, and support leaders and teams to grow constructive, collaborative and high-performing cultures.
This is a team with a broad and impactful portfolio, consulting with executives and leaders, delivering leadership development and team programs, supporting change and cultural initiatives, and leading our Level 1 mandatory learning program.
The Role
As an Organisational Development Consultant, you will provide specialist support to leaders and teams to strengthen team effectiveness and elevate the employee experience across Alfred Health. Drawing on a wide range of people and culture insights, including engagement data, cultural diagnostics, leadership assessments and qualitative feedback, you will identify opportunities for improvement and translate these into impactful, evidence-based team development initiatives.
In this role, you will partner with executives and local leaders to design and deliver end-to-end team-based interventions that build constructive culture, enhance ways of working, and reduce employee risk. You will facilitate capability-building workshops, apply contemporary OD and human-centred methodologies, and coach leaders and teams to build trust, collaboration and psychological safety. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who combines strong consulting capability with creative, evidence-informed design and a passion for enabling teams to perform at their best.
