Lead an established region — and take your career further.
Pacific Supports & Mentoring has been operating in Townsville for the past three years, and our North Queensland arm and demand is growing.

You'll step into an established operation with real clients, real momentum and a reputation already built — then make it bigger.
This is a leadership role first: the team, the standards, the relationships and the growth of the region sit with you.
This is a
hybrid, flexible outreach role
— leadership, stakeholder and business development work balanced with supports delivered out in the community across Townsville and North QLD, not behind a desk.

A hybrid, adaptable role — you shape the balance between leadership, stakeholder work and delivery as the region demands
