Maxlife Care is a high-growth, doctor-led disability support and aged care service provider working in true partnership with their clients/patients by delivering world-class, bespoke, premium care services. Headquartered in St Leonards, Maxlife Care is on a mission to promote and enhance the quality of life for their clients. Currently undergoing a journey of significant growth - in partnership with a long-term growth equity firm - they are scaling up their capabilities and as such are looking for an outstanding People and Culture Manager with a heart for clinically-led, patient-first outcomes, aligning personal passion and purpose, with this great opportunity to make an impact on the team, business, community and your career.

**Job Description**:
As the People and Culture Manager, you will work in partnership with the executive and senior leadership teams of this high-growth people-led business as you lead, grow and develop the People and Culture function and your team (4) in support of the wider business, and in connection to strategic initiatives that are ultimately driven at providing outstanding clinical and support care services to complex care clients.

You will have true value, ownership, accountability and opportunity, backed by the GM People and Culture and the CEO, who you will work with closely, to shape the future of this business. Your high performance in the first 12 months will centre around the following objectives:

- Build, grow and develop the people and culture team in alignment with business needs. Currently a team of 4, you will take the necessary time to understand your people and their roles and capabilities. Map out development growth plans for team members whilst identifying, planning and executing hiring initiatives to enable and support the business's growth.
- Lead projects to source, implement and utilise "best in class" systems, including HRIS, LMS and ATS to drive culturally embedded best practices and efficiencies that enable us to focus on what matters most, our people, including support functions, operations, and our clients.
- Work in partnership with key stakeholders, including support workers, area supervisors, finance, leadership, as well as your Talent team, to design critical people and culture strategies around talent acquisition, onboarding, rostering and workforce planning.
- Partner with leaders to understand key performance issues, objectives, and drivers and help build practical solutions that support the business.

**Qualifications**:
As a disability services provider, we are looking to attract someone into this position who at their core is a people person, to lead our people team, in what can easily be described as a deeply people-centred business. You have the empathy to connect to what we do, understanding the impacts on our clients, our people and our community. You are personable and approachable, building trust through listening, understanding and credibility.

We use a lot of Excel, and a system called Turnpoint, so we'd love your expertise on systems. You don't have to come from disability services or similar industries to thrive in this role. You do need to identify with the objectives stated above and have aligned experiences.
