Great team. Big growth. Your call on where it goes next. We’re partnering with a highly regarded not-for-profit disability and aged care provider in south western Sydney to find their next Manager, Allied Health.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant allied health field
• Registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission as an Advanced Behaviour Practitioner
• Strong knowledge of NDIS, aged care and health care standards (or the ability to pick them up quickly)
• A track record of leading established teams through change and growth
• A collaborative, authentic, culture-first leadership style
• Postgraduate qualifications and professional membership are highly regarded

Why this one’s worth a conversation

• You won’t start from zero. You’ll step into a team that’s already delivering
• Genuine scope to shape new service lines and the future of the division
• A values-driven organisation where people with disability are at the centre of every decision
• A supportive executive team and a leadership seat with real influence

The successful candidate will be required to complete a National Police Check, NDIS Worker Screening Check and Working with Children Check, and provide proof of right to work in Australia.
