About You
We are seeking an experienced people leader with strong connections to the sector and to the local community.
You will enjoy working at the intersection of service delivery, partnership development and program innovation.
You thrive in collaborative environments and are motivated by the opportunity to lead programs that improve outcomes for people experiencing or escaping family violence.
As a key member of VincentCare's leadership team, you will be equally comfortable leading staff, managing complex stakeholder relationships, and driving continuous improvement across your area of responsibility.
Why join Vincentcare?
Salary packaging, sometimes called salary sacrificing is a huge attraction here!
It is a popular way of providing employees in the community sector with tax perks over and above their salary.
It means the real value of a salary package can be significantly higher than the nominal value.
