Our programs are diverse and designed to bring joy, connection, and purpose, including:

  • Group exercise classes that support mobility, strength, and overall wellbeing
  • Special events and community lunches that celebrate connection and friendship
  • Outings to local attractions, events, and places of interest

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading and overseeing the delivery of these vibrant programs across three centres
  • Managing and supporting a dedicated team of program supervisors, program assistants, and volunteers
  • Ensuring services meet client expectations, quality standards, and regulatory requirements
  • Building and maintaining strong partnerships with community groups, stakeholders, and internal teams
  • Management of reporting, compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives

We offer:

  • Generous salary packaging (up to $15,900 + $2,650 meals/entertainment)
  • Ongoing training and career development
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
