Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (NL Health Services) brings together five former separate health entities - Eastern Health, Central Health, Western Health, Labrador-Grenfell Health, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information.

Responsibilities include the management of staff and resources and providing leadership to ensure services are delivered in an effective and efficient manner within a multidisciplinary, highly integrated environment. The manager plays an important role in the establishment of sustainable collaborative working relationships to enhance linkages with staff, internal programs, communities, as well as external partners.
