Lead Change and Empower Women

This is an extraordinary opportunity to stand at the forefront of change, leading a pioneering feminist, community-based organisation driving real systemic change in a challenging but critical sector.

About the Organisation

The Illawarra Women's Trauma Recovery Centre is a ground-breaking initiative providing holistic, trauma-informed recovery and healing services. Beyond service delivery, the Centre will be a powerful voice for advocacy and reform — committed to dismantling barriers to healing and support, amplifying women's voices, and creating a community where recovery, healing and empowerment becomes possible.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional and values-driven Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the Centre into its next chapter of growth and influence. Reporting to the Board, you will have the rare opportunity to shape the Centre's long-term strategy to be a centre of excellence, support a skilled and committed team, and strengthen its national voice as a leading advocate for domestic, family and sexual violence trauma recovery.

Key Responsibilities
  • Drive the Centre's strategic vision and execution in partnership with the Board.
  • Ensure operational excellence, financial sustainability, and best practice risk management.
  • Provide visionary, feminist leadership, embedding trauma-informed principles throughout the organisation.
  • Promote equity, diversity, and inclusion across all aspects of service delivery and operations.
  • Champion a positive, values-driven culture, prioritising staff well-being, collaboration, and innovation.
  • Lead advocacy and stakeholder engagement with government, unions, and community partners.
About You

You are a committed, compassionate, and visionary leader with the integrity, skills and dedication to support your team, grow the Centre, and drive systemic change.

You Will Bring:

  • Postgraduate qualifications in health, public health, management, administration, or equivalent degrees and/or experience.
  • Demonstrated, successful experience in a CEO, Executive Director, or GM role, ideally in the domestic, family or sexual and/or social justice sector.
  • 10+ years' senior leadership experience with proven governance and strategy expertise.
  • Strong track record in building and unifying diverse teams, fostering culture, and managing conflict sensitively.
  • In-depth understanding of the domestic, family or sexual sector, and healing models.
  • High-level political and stakeholder engagement skills, balancing grassroots advocacy with national influence.
  • Demonstrated commitment to feminist and social justice principles.

How to Apply: Please submit your CV and a cover letter addressing the selection criteria.
