ABOUT YOU

You bring a tertiary qualification in aged care, allied health, nursing, or a related field, along with at least two years of professional experience preferably including home care. You excel at delivering and coordinating client-directed services within compliance frameworks. Your leadership skills shine as you guide a team to achieve best practice outcomes. Strong interpersonal communication and the ability to manage stakeholder relationships are your strengths, and you embody TSA's mission, values, and ethos in everything you do.

We're looking for proactive, energetic, and resilient individuals who:

Have Registered Nursing qualifications or a minimum of 2 years' experience managing a small to medium-sized service.
Are skilled in undertaking client assessments, developing care plans and budgets, and monitoring client spending.
Can manage a client caseload and lead a team with up to 13 Care Workers and 1-2 Coordinators.

Are tech-savvy, with the ability to use client management systems and other software applications.
