About the Role

As a Workforce Scheduling Coordinator, you will play a critical role in managing support worker rosters to ensure every client receives timely, quality support. This role is ideal for someone who can think on their feet, work with a sense of urgency, and adapt quickly to last-minute changes.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively escalate unfilled shifts or urgent service disruptions through appropriate channels.
• Ensure rostering system data is accurate, real-time, and reflects all changes as they occur.
• Liaise with Service Managers and Operations Managers to plan ahead and anticipate future staffing needs.
• Monitor rostering efficiency and adapt schedules quickly to minimise client impact and ensure compliance.
• Provide timely support to staff and clients during out-of-hours emergencies as part of the on-call roster.

• Sound knowledge of relevant award conditions and rostering compliance requirements.
• Proficiency in Workforce Management Software (e.g., Flow Logic, ShiftCare, Skedulo, Carelink, or similar).
• Excellent time management and the ability to prioritise urgent and competing demands effectively.
• Strong verbal and written communication to coordinate with multiple stakeholders under pressure.
• Proactive, solution-focused mindset with resilience to manage stressful situations calmly and effectively.
• Commitment to client-centred support and a collaborative approach to team-based service delivery.

• Exposure to a dynamic and meaningful role where no two days are the same.
• Opportunities for internal and external professional development.
• Access to free and confidential counselling services for you and your immediate family.
