Job description

Lead a critical service portfolio that supports older people to live well in their communities.

Intereach is a not-for-profit community organisation that has worked across rural, regional and remote communities for more than 50 years throughout the Riverina-Murray region of NSW and the Loddon, Goulburn and Mallee regions of Victoria. We support children, families, older people, carers and people with disability, and our vision is strong, connected communities.

We are seeking an experienced and values-driven leader to oversee our growing Aged Care Services portfolio and help shape the future of aged care across regional communities.

We have a clear strategic direction. What we need is a leader who can bring that strategy to life through strong operational leadership, informed decision-making and a deep commitment to quality aged care.

About the Role

Reporting to the General Manager and leading a team of Regional and Operational Managers and Clinical Leads, you will be responsible for the performance, quality, financial sustainability and strategic development of the Aged Care Services portfolio. You will work closely with senior leaders across the organisation to ensure services are delivered safely, effectively and in alignment with Intereach's Strategic Plan.

As a member of the Strategic Leadership Team, you will contribute to organisation-wide planning and decision-making while championing a culture of innovation, accountability and continuous improvement.

What You Will Bring

• Significant senior leadership experience within aged care, health, community services or another highly regulated environment.
• Demonstrated success leading large teams and complex service portfolios.
• Strong business and financial acumen, including budget management and performance oversight.
• Experience leading organisations or programs through reform, growth and change.
• Strong understanding of contemporary aged care service delivery and sector reforms.
• Proven ability to build strategic partnerships and engage effectively with stakeholders, funders and regulators.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and leadership skills.
