About the Role

National St John Ambulance PNG is recruiting experienced and adaptable paramedics to join the PNG-Australia Policing Partnership (PNG-APP) Paramedic Support Program – a collaborative initiative providing medical support to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in Papua New Guinea.
This unique role offers the opportunity to provide high-level pre-hospital care in a remote, resource-limited environment. Paramedics are deployed primarily to regional locations (Lae, Kokopo, or Mt Hagen) or Port Moresby, and contribute both to AFP medical support (in a 24/7 on-call capacity) as well as local ambulance service delivery.
You will also work alongside local ambulance officers and clinicians to support local operations, serve as a clinical role model, and contribute to the ongoing development and capacity-building of the national ambulance service.
The role involves a component of non-clinical and sustainable development work within the project, with the opportunity for paramedics to spearhead and lead their own projects.

Chief Executive

National St John Ambulance Papua New Guinea

Closes 23rd June 2025

About the role

Active since 1957, the National St John Ambulance Council of Papua New Guinea, a well-respected and widely known organisation is seeking a new Chief Executive (CE) based in Port Moresby.

St John is a statutory body established under the St John Council Incorporation Act 1976, partly funded by the government. It plays a vital role in saving lives and improving emergency care across Papua New Guinea. The CE will be responsible for delivering on the organisation’s mandate, strengthening partnerships with government and provincial authorities, ensuring high operational standards, and leading a dedicated workforce of clinicians, volunteers, and support staff. St John operations are funded through a mix of government grants, donor contributions, and enterprise revenue, therefore strong financial stewardship is vital to fulfilling this role.

St John remains focused on making health care possible for more people by basing ambulance stations in regional centres as a hub for reaching more people in rural areas. And as such, we are looking for a CE that can lead, grow and innovate the St John service model to reach more communities around the country while ensuring it remains high-quality, financially sustainable, and relevant to the communities around Papua New Guinea.

You will demonstrate the gravitas and strategic communication skills to be the primary spokesperson for St John, and to lead work to build community and stakeholder awareness of St John’s mission and impact around the country. Your extensive knowledge of government and non-profit service delivery will aid you to build effective and collaborative service delivery models and partnerships across the community.
