At Lumia Care, we're passionate about delivering trusted support locally, through the best people.

Reporting directly to the Chief Clinical & Compliance Officer, this executive leadership role will shape how we develop, engage and empower our workforce to deliver safe, person-centred care across Australia.

Why this role matters

This is more than a training role. You'll play a critical leadership position in building a high-performing workforce, strengthening compliance, driving leadership capability and embedding a culture of continuous learning that directly impacts the quality of care delivered to our clients.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Learning Strategy & Workforce Capability

• Develop and implement Lumia Care's national Learning & Development strategy.
• Create capability frameworks and career pathways across clinical, operational and corporate teams.
• Identify workforce capability gaps and deliver targeted development solutions.
• Align learning initiatives to organisational growth and strategic priorities.

Drive Compliance & Quality Outcomes

• Ensure all training programs align with regulatory and legislative requirements.
• Maintain oversight of mandatory training, credentialing and competency frameworks.
• Partner with Quality & Compliance teams to respond to audit findings, incidents and emerging risks through workforce education.
• Support audit readiness and quality assurance across all service streams.

Build Leadership Capability

• Design and deliver leadership development programs.
• Strengthen management capability in performance management, workforce planning and risk management.
• Develop future leadership pipelines and succession planning initiatives.

Lead the Learning Function

• Provide leadership to the Learning & Development team and Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
• Oversee learning systems, reporting, governance and performance frameworks.
• Drive innovation in learning delivery, including digital and blended learning solutions.
• Foster a culture of learning, accountability and continuous improvement.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Tertiary qualifications in Education, Training, Human Resources, Health or a related discipline.
• Strong experience leading Learning & Development functions in complex, multi-site organisations.
• Demonstrated success developing capability frameworks, training strategies and leadership programs.
• Deep understanding of compliance, quality and workforce capability requirements.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.

Highly Regarded

• Nursing qualification or strong experience working within highly regulated health, aged care or disability environments.
• Postgraduate qualifications in Organisational Development, Education or Leadership.
• Experience overseeing an RTO or learning governance framework.

Why Join Lumia Care?

At Lumia Care, our values of Compassion, Integrity, Innovation and Collaboration guide everything we do. You'll join a purpose-driven organisation where your work directly contributes to improving the lives of the people we support while shaping the future capability of a national workforce.

What We Offer

• Executive leadership opportunity with national impact.
• Collaborate directly with senior executives and organisational leaders.
• Flexible and innovative work environment.
• Opportunity to build, transform and lead workforce capability across a growing healthcare organisation.
• Access to professional development and career growth opportunities.
