• Empathetic Leadership: The ability to lead with empathy, walking alongside your team while also possessing the confidence to engage in difficult conversations when needed.
• Rostering Experience: Proven experience in rostering is advantageous for this role, as you will be tasked with scheduling casual after-hours Support Workers. This includes aligning staffing resources effectively while adhering to budgetary constraints.

Alternatively, a bachelor’s degree in business management, human resources or related discipline, and qualifications in a relevant clinical domain are acceptable.
