Our client is seeking an experienced and inspirational Service Manager to lead their Assisted Living program in Tweed Heads. This is an opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role within a purpose-driven organisation that supports vulnerable individuals across the community.

About the role
You’ll be steering the ship — managing the operational delivery of high-quality, person-centred services while leading a passionate team of Coordinators, Case Workers, Senior Coordinators and Support Workers.
Your focus will be on service excellence, compliance, staff leadership, and continuous improvement — and you’ll play a key part in shaping outcomes for clients and the broader program.

This position is available for an immediate start on a temporary basis, with strong potential to transition to permanent employment.

What you’ll be doing
Your day-to-day will blend leadership, operational oversight and community impact, including:

• Leading multiple teams across different locations to deliver culturally safe, person-centred support
• Matching staff skillsets to client needs to ensure the best experience possible
• Overseeing case planning, reviews, service planning, and client outcomes
• Ensuring quality, compliance, and alignment with legislative, program and budgetary requirements
• Monitoring contracts, performance obligations, budgets and reporting
• Analysing service provision data and driving growth opportunities
• Managing rosters in partnership with the central rostering team
• Providing strong, values-driven leadership with a focus on team culture and development
• Supporting after-hours on-call requirements
• Building relationships with stakeholders, community networks, government bodies and service providers
• Handling feedback, complaints, consultation processes and continuous improvement initiatives

What you’ll bring

• Qualification in Individual Support, Leadership/Management, or significant experience in a similar role
• Strong leadership experience in community services, mental health, assisted living or similar sectors
• Experience supporting clients with complex needs — including mental health, trauma, crisis and physical support requirements
• Confidence managing budgets, contracts, and KPIs
• Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement and problem-solving skills
• Intermediate computer proficiency (Microsoft Office Suite)
• Current Driver’s Licence, NDIS Worker Screening / Yellow Card (QLD), and a satisfactory Police Check

Why this role stands out
This is one of those roles where you can genuinely shape a service, elevate a team, and influence client outcomes in a really meaningful way. If you’re driven by purpose and love leading people toward shared success, you’ll thrive here.

Plus, with the potential to move into a permanent leadership position, it’s a fantastic opportunity to make your mark.
