The Role

Reporting to the general manager, operations and working as part of a dynamic senior management team, you will be required to oversee and further develop operations in the East Melbourne region.

• Manage the team, resources of the services and associated financial reporting
• Ensure services are delivered timely and comply with quality practice standards
• Provide financial, technical and professional advice
• Develop your knowledge and philosophy of standards, QA principles, policies and WH&S

Skills Required

You are a seasoned business development professional with an ability to work collaboratively with leadership and senior management experience. Your creativity and business acumen will support your ability to identify and grow quality and reciprocal partnerships.

A knowledge of service delivery within health, disability, mental health or related industries and experienced understanding of the NDIS would be advantageous, including a lived experience but not essential. Offering a well-developed network within the industry, you’re able to identify, research and recommend programs, services and client groups.
