Are you a passionate leader with a heart for health care and a drive for excellence in food services? RMCLHN is seeking a dedicated Corporate General Services Manager to lead and inspire teams across our regional health network. This is a unique opportunity to shape the delivery of high-quality, culturally sensitive, and nutritionally sound food services that make a real difference in the lives of patients and aged care residents.

You'll drive continuous improvement through auditing, compliance, and sustainability initiatives, support environmental responsibility projects, and oversee the safe operation of the Murray Bridge Heated Pool. In addition, you'll provide expert advice and operational support to RMCLHN sites, helping deliver seamless, effective, and client-focused services across the network.
