• Previous experience in rostering, scheduling, or workforce coordination, ideally within aged care, healthcare, disability, or a similarly complex environment
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities
• A calm, solutions-focused approach when dealing with time-critical changes
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders
• Confidence using rostering systems, Microsoft Office, and related technology
• High attention to detail and the ability to work accurately in a fast-paced environment
• A proactive team player who understands the importance of rosters in delivering quality care

What We Offer
