Clinical Services Manager - Rockhampton - up to $5,000 in relocation assistance

Ready for a change of pace, a change of scenery, and a role where you'll genuinely change lives? Keep reading.

At Lives Lived Well, we help people live their lives well. Across Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia, we support people facing challenges with alcohol and other drugs (AOD), mental health, harm minimisation, veterans' wellbeing and gambling.

Just 9km north of Rockhampton you'll find Binbi Yadubay, which means Healthy Beginnings. It's a residential program offering withdrawal (8 beds) and rehabilitation (32 beds) plus a family recovery program (2 units) where parents can bring their children aged 10 and under along for the journey. In the community our team also provides free AOD counselling and support, including for young people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Rockhampton and the surrounding regions.

Your opportunity

We're looking for a passionate, experienced leader to head up our AOD programs across Central Queensland. That means overseeing Binbi Yadubay, our 42-bed residential facility, as well as our community-based services.

You'll lead six direct reports (including three team leaders), guide a broader team of around 50 staff and four private practitioners, and play a pivotal role in shaping how care is delivered right across the region.

Clinical know-how matters here, but what really counts is your ability to lead. To inspire a team, influence outcomes, stay steady when things get complex and build a culture where people (staff and clients alike) can do their best. You'll steward program budgets, strengthen relationships with funders and stakeholders, drive fresh ideas through collaborative projects, and keep our services aligned to what matters most,



which is better outcomes for the people we support.

Local or looking to relocate

Whether you're already part of the Rockhampton community or thinking about making it your home, this is a chance to do meaningful work right where it matters. Rockhampton offers an affordable, relaxed lifestyle, a robust sense of community and the gateway to the Capricorn Coast and Great Keppel Island right on your doorstep.

Already local? You'll love that a career-defining leadership role has landed close to home. Thinking of relocating? We'll help you get here with up to $5,000 in relocation assistance to make the move easier, plus additional support potentially available for partners and dependents. Either way, it's a real opportunity to grow your career, make a genuine impact, and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with it.

What we're looking for

You’ll bring several years' experience in the AOD, mental health, or residential aged care sectors, with a solid grounding in both clinical practice and management. You're confident overseeing the day-to-day across multiple locations and diverse clinical settings.

You’ll also have:

- A tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline such as Social Work, Mental Health Nursing, Allied Health, Psychology or similar
- Strong clinical, financial and people leadership skills
- The ability to lead with empathy and have the tough conversations when they're needed




- Great stakeholder skills – you enjoy building networks, partnerships and connections with funders and other providers
- A calm, level-headed, pragmatic approach when the pressure's on
- Flexibility and self-motivation – you're a self-starter who thrives on variety and can shuffle priorities on the fly
- A solutions-focused mindset – we love new ideas and better ways of doing things
- Energy, resilience, patience, and a genuine passion for walking alongside people through their recovery
- You’ll also hold a current Australian Driver's Licence and a Working With Children Check.

Why work for us?

We're growing fast and building a reputation as a trusted, innovative provider with clinical excellence at our core. One of our values is "We ask why not and what's next?" and we chose it for a reason. For us, change means opportunity: to improve, to grow, to push boundaries and to help more people.

You’ll be backed by an approachable, engaged leader who values open communication and genuine two-way feedback. Plus, you’ll enjoy a heap of benefits:

- Five extra paid leave days each year to look after your wellbeing
- Access to Fitness Passport
- Salary packaging to boost your take-home pay, including a Meals & Entertainment card
- Free onsite parking
- The option of a novated lease vehicle
- Autonomy and trust in a supportive and respectful environment

Applications close Sunday 23 August at 5:00pm , but we're interviewing as we go, so don't wait around. We may close early once we find the right person.
