  • Manage child safety and worker safety frameworks, monitoring compliance and promoting accountability across centres.
  • Chair and contribute to committees that advance policy, safety and governance outcomes.
  • Drive a program of continuous improvement, leveraging data, trends and insights to enhance compliance effectiveness.
  • Develop innovative e-learning resources to support compliance knowledge and implementation across Affinity.

Every day, your leadership will strengthen our culture of compliance, safety and quality, building foundations that enable our teams, families and communities to thrive.

What You'll Bring

  • Proven senior experience in compliance and risk management, ideally in complex or regulated environments.
  • Strong knowledge of policy development, WHS, and risk frameworks.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence and engage at all organisational levels.
  • A track record of building effective compliance systems and driving continuous improvement.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
  • Relevant qualifications in Law, Risk Management, Business or a related field.

Here's what you'll enjoy:

  • Competitive executive salary package.
  • Flexible working arrangements and work-life balance.
  • Career development and access to professional networks.
  • The opportunity to provide strategic influence across a national organisation.
  • 50% discount on childcare gap fees.
