Menzies is looking for an enthusiastic and resourceful person to join the Renal Health Program as an Application and Software Developer.

The Renal Health Program has a strong focus on evidence translation, program evaluation to inform policy and working with stakeholders to identify community determined strategies to improve the health of all Territorians. The program works in partnership with government and non-government health services locally and at the national level to identify, develop and support innovative strategies to facilitate early identification and management of kidney disease, delay and prevent the requirement for dialysis and improve the patient journey.

This position will be responsible for the development, design and implementation of new or modified software products relating to Territory Kidney Care (TKC), a clinical decision support application designed to assist primary health services with the early identification and management of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). TKC is not an ‘off-the-shelf’ software product but has been designed and developed in consultation with clinicians. The functionalities TKC offers are unique to the healthcare environment. The ongoing development and expansion of TKC requires a dynamic and experienced software developer to ensure this project meets the requirements of stakeholders and funders.

The successful candidate will have post graduate qualifications in information technology, software engineering, data science or related disciplines and extensive relevant experience or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and/ or education or training. High level of experience in software development projects using technologies such as Python, Microsoft.NET, Java and SQL.

You will also have a proven track record in health application development and an in-depth understanding of guidelines and processes to be followed for the development and deployment of health information systems. The person we are looking for will have proven high-level problem solving and critical thinking skills and be maintaining strong collaborative partnerships with a diverse range of individuals and organisations.
