  • Review daily shift notes, incident reports, and ensure compliance with documentation standards.
  • Manage WH&S checks, medication charts, and end-of-month reporting.
  • Complete site-specific action tasks, ensuring appointments, supplies, and communication are handled efficiently.

Why Join Us

  • Impact - Your leadership directly shapes the quality of care our participants receive.
  • Growth - Opportunities for professional development and leadership training.
  • Support - Work alongside a collaborative management team that values your input.
  • Variety - A balance of on-the-floor engagement and operational leadership.
  • Culture - Be part of a supportive, purpose-driven workplace where your work truly matters.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous leadership or supervisory experience in disability, aged care, or community services.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities.
  • Excellent communication skills with a collaborative, solutions-focused mindset.
  • Confidence using systems such as Microsoft Office, Securicare, Synology, and Proda.
  • Understanding of WH&S and incident management requirements.

Must Have:

  • Current First Aid & CPR
  • Current driver's license
  • NDIS Worker Screening Check (or ability to obtain)

Ready to Lead with Purpose?
