Advance Diversity Services (ADS) is a dynamic, community-focused organisation, dedicated to providing crucial support to individuals from Cultural and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds (CALD) within the South-East Sydney region, notably in the St George and Sutherland areas. ADS pertain an unwavering commitment to assist and advocate for members of these communities, with a special emphasis on recent arrivals, refugees, families, women, and seniors.

The team leader will oversee the coordination of the newly created Care Finder program. The program aims to target harder to access groups in the community who are 65 years + and who are unlikely to engage with the system due to barriers such as language, cognitive decline, or a reluctance to deal with the government systems. This will likely include people who have been homeless, experienced DV, or have ongoing mental health or AOD concerns.

• Provide regular reporting to the funding body, and regularly monitor compliance.

To have success in this role, you will have an energetic, friendly, and assertive leadership style along with an unwavering commitment to supporting your team to achieve positive outcomes for vulnerable members of the community.

You will also have

• 1-2 years’ leadership experience in the community services sector.
• Strong understanding of providing person-centred, trauma-informed care, and a demonstrated ability to provide advice on complex case management to the team.
• Knowledge in working within the Aged Care sector, including My Aged Care, and community support services available in the local community, or a strong willingness to learn.
• Experience working with CALD communities and demonstrated cultural competency and understanding.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in social work, aged care, community services or related field
• Experience coordinating and facilitating outreach events which advocate for the program and services provided.
• Excellent communication and relationship building skills.

Requirements for the role

• A valid driver’s license and vehicle with comprehensive car insurance

What's in it for you?
