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. This is an opportunity to lead a high-performing team, drive service excellence, and contribute to strategic growth during a time of significant sector reform.

The Opportunity Ahead

The aged care sector is experiencing unprecedented change, with reforms reshaping how services are designed, funded and delivered. As Senior Manager Aged Care Services, you will play a key role in ensuring our services remain responsive, compliant and centred on the needs of older people while positioning Intereach for future growth and sustainability.

In this role you will:

Lead a large and diverse aged care portfolio across regional and rural communities.
Guide service delivery through ongoing aged care reforms and industry change.
Drive operational performance, quality outcomes and continuous improvement initiatives.
Strengthen partnerships with consumers, stakeholders, government and community organisations.

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.
A tertiary qualification in Nursing, Allied Health, Community Services or a related discipline, or equivalent leadership experience.

What We Offer

The opportunity to lead a portfolio that has a direct impact on older people and communities across our footprint.
A senior leadership role with genuine influence on strategic direction.
Salary packaging benefits to increase your take‑home pay.
Flexible working arrangements.
Professional development and leadership growth opportunities.
The chance to work with a respected community organisation with more than 50 years of service and an ambitious vision for the future.
