Fairway Bayside Aged Care

Fairway Bayside Aged Care (Fairway) is a fully accredited government-funded, not-for-profit 65 bed residential aged care facility currently operated by FBACL and with an expansion planned to start later this year to increase the facility to 84 beds. The history of Fairway is intrinsically connected to the Sandringham area. It is a triumph of committed local community members who in the mid-1980s identified a need for high quality aged residential care that captured the spirit of the Bayside community.

With a strong balance sheet, and potential plans for growth and development amidst a time of reform for the Aged Care sector, Fairway is seeking to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO will lead the delivery of existing services and programs whilst planning and implementing organisational responses to recommendations from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Royal Commission that will set Fairway up for future success and sustainability. The new CEO will also be part of a strategic review and development of a new strategy later in 2023.

Reporting to an engaged and skills-based Board, the CEO will ensure that the organisation operates efficiently and effectively, applying sound business principles to the operations, whilst maintaining a culture that is based around high quality care and resident wellbeing. This position requires an experienced, energetic, and ethical leader, qualified with a relevant degree, and aligned to the Values of Fairway with a commitment to good Governance and strong workplace cultures. To be considered you will have experience in the Aged Care (or similar) sector and a track record of success in being able to lead an organisation through change in a complex and sometimes challenging environment. You’ll be able to build genuine and effective relationships with a multitude of stakeholders, including the Board, staff at all levels, Government stakeholders and most importantly the residents of Fairway.

As a leader you will be visible, inclusive, and kind, with a reputation for successfully leading organisations operating within complex and highly regulated sectors and for inspiring and developing teams. Ideally you will be conversant with the current Government policy issues surrounding the Aged Care services sector and be able to articulate this into high quality and person-centred care models and operations. Naturally, you will be strategically minded, able to identify and respond to opportunities, but equally adept at being hands-on in a relatively small and intimate organisation. Good judgement and decision making will be essential.

This is a wonderful leadership opportunity to join a values-driven organisation in a sector that is undergoing significant reform.
