This role will refine and embed operational frameworks, systems and processes to optimally meet governance, compliance, safety and quality digital mental health standards and funding KPI’s alongside the wellbeing of team members. The alignment of systems and processes across the different telehealth streams, where operationally viable, will be key, as well as being informed by complex trauma best practice principles.

This role will encompass change management processes with operational leadership alongside the motivational coaching and influence of staff to enable change.

Your strong background in the project management of organisational change initiatives and process improvements, alongside undertaking the BAU people management responsibilities, will support your success. You will have experience with data-driven decision making and reporting frameworks, but also have strong relational skills.

An understanding of trauma-informed / and or disability-informed telephone counselling is highly desirable, but the demonstrated experience of proactively acquiring such knowledge quickly will be strongly considered.
