We're not your average provider. Ability Plus is a growth-focused, clinically robust organisation that puts people first – participants and staff alike. In a recent third-party survey Ability Plus was rated as providing exceptional care, with one Support Coordinator quoted as saying Ability Plus has "the best care workers on deck". WOW

We're bold about growth and serious about impact – and we're looking for someone who's the same.

Our mission? To ensure every participant experiences quality, wrap around care that is personalised, and built from a personalised care plan. We take Quality of Life seriously.

About the Role – Community Partnership Manager (Victoria)

This is your chance to take a high-impact business development role with genuine purpose. As our Community Partnership Manager for Victoria, you'll be at the forefront of building strong, strategic partnerships across:

• NDIS & Disability Supports
• Supported Independent Living (SIL)
• Allied Health Services

You'll be driving commercial outcomes and changing lives – with the backing of a collaborative, national team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Winning new business – Build pipelines, secure new relationships, and convert opportunities into long-term partnerships.
• Owning your region – Build your name in the sector through face-to-face meetings, presentations, and genuine connection with referral sources.
• Strategic account management – Nurture and expand existing networks and contracts.
• Collaborating nationally – Partner with Community Partnership Managers in other states on national agreements and cross-border growth.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in sales, business development, or partnerships in Disability, Community Care, or Aged Care
• Strong knowledge of the Australian care landscape and funding models – particularly NDIS
• Confidence and charisma – you enjoy getting in front of people and making things happen
• Outstanding communication skills – written, verbal and presentation
• A self-starter mindset with energy, drive, and heart

This role isn't for beginners – you'll need to hit the ground running with minimal training on sector knowledge. You'll have the opportunity to partner with our Executive to love what you do, break new ceilings and forge a path that will define your future.
