  • Supervising and supporting staff, volunteers, and students.
  • Stepping in during Program Manager leave to ensure continuity of services.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about improving quality of life for people living with dementia and their carers, and who brings:

  • Tertiary qualifications in aged care, community services, or a related field (preferred).
  • Knowledge of dementia and the aged care sector (preferred).
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with clients, carers, staff, and volunteers.
  • Proven organisational and administrative skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Office.
  • Leadership and supervisory experience, with the ability to manage multiple tasks.
  • A commitment to confidentiality, compassion, and The Haven's values.
  • A current First Aid certificate, National Police Check (or willingness to obtain), and eligibility for aged care worker screening.

What We Offer

  • A supportive, close-knit team environment.
  • The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with dementia and their carers.
  • Flexibility with part-time hours (12 hours per week, with potential to increase).
  • Salary and conditions in line with the SCHCADS Award.
