Lutheran Care

Founded in 1969 in South Australia by a group of pioneering Lutheran women, Lutheran Care has always been the champion of advocacy and equity, serving the needs and fighting for the rights of the most vulnerable people in the community.  Today Lutheran Care has firmly established itself as one of the fastest growing, leading not-for-profit human service agencies providing services across SA and NT.  With a dedicated staff and volunteer workforce of more than 500, Lutheran Care has a vision for working together to change lives and build caring, resilient communities.  The organisation's values of Social Justice, Compassion, Inclusion and Courage underpin every element of its multi-faceted and vital program deliveries.

Following the ethos and vision of the highly accomplished former CEO, the appointee will continue to steward the growth, innovation and sustainability of the organisation achieved during his tenure.  Reporting to the skills-based Board, the Chief Executive Officer will lead a passionate and specialist team, driving strategic direction, service excellence and sector leadership.  Key responsibilities include:

  • representing the organisation as a sector leader and spokesperson, promoting Lutheran Care's mission through effective communication with clients, donors; partners and the broader community.

Applications are encouraged from appropriately qualified and experienced executive leaders with the commercial acumen and social heart to ensure sustainable leadership of this trusted and highly valued entity.  The ability to engage and inspire a diverse team, strong strategic, relationship and advocacy capabilities, superior communication style combined with warmth, empathy, energy, authenticity and good character are key to success in this role.
