Over the last few posts we have been talking about how to search for your new non-clinical role with intention. How to work out what you might be good at that isn't necessarily a job title that involves your clinical qualification. If you're new and keen to catch up, start here.
So now you know how to prove you can do what you say you can in your CV and you've found the common thread in your career that's probs gonna give you a hint as to what non-clinical titles you should be applying for - let's chat search strategy.
(If you're a little stuck on which bucket the problems you like to solve fall in to - take my free career quiz - I made it myself so it's not gonna give you generic answers about how you like to help people).
I am pretty keen for my time on earth to leave the place a bit better for me having been here, so when I first started searching for a non-clinical role I did it through the lens of impact.
Initially in roles that felt like I'd be more likely to get (and fixed the systems that had been driving me nuts for my entire senior clinical career AND didn't need me to go back to uni, cos fuck that) e.g. Project Manager, Service Lead etc. within my current employer which was NSW Health, a few of my colleagues had landed roles in clinical coding - so that's another place you could suss out. I also started searching the local Primary Health Networks (PHN) - and apologies for my interstate friends I am not sure what these services are beyond NSW 😅 (please feel free to reply to the newsletter and educate me, would be super grateful).
Next up was discovering more impact focussed job sites (which I discovered searching for PHN roles) such as ethicaljobs.com.au and from there (which will sound so counterintuitive) I stepped into the world of LinkedIn.
LinkedIn wasn't a platform I really ever used as a clinician, but it really is (unfortunately) a great place to surface non-clinical opportunities. On LinkedIn I searched for health tech companies, filtering on Australia, and filtering out any of the ones I felt weren't values aligned (wasn't up for working for any bottom feeders).
In amongst that I found a couple of health tech communities - What the Health (newsletter + paid community - and now has a podcast), and Talking Healthtech (podcast + community which I think is also paid), I wasn't paying to join a community so signed up to whatever they had for free and then hey presto had a lead list on health tech start-ups in Australia and beyond 🙌
I would check out the ones who sounded interesting's company LinkedIn, their website and from there follow them if they felt aligned.
You could also look up any of the brands you use in your day to day clinical life - like Nookal or Cliniko or Heidi or Lyrebird and see if they have any openings.
And I know LinkedIn can feel like a really corporate place - I am more than happy to be your guide. Send me a connect request with a little note to say you're from Post-MDT, and if you're stuck on how to even set up your LinkedIn profile, this is how.
