Job Description Summary
Lead a passionate team, build meaningful GP partnerships and make a lasting difference to mental health care across the Murrumbidgee region.
About Better.
Together.
Better.
Together.
is a free mental health service for people aged 18 and over across the Murrumbidgee region.
We believe better mental health care happens when services work together, not separately.
Our multidisciplinary teams work alongside general practices to provide care that is tailored to each person, from clinical interventions, psychosocial support and peer support through to care coordination, service navigation, social prescribing and group programs.
Our approach is person-centred, recovery-oriented and focused on the whole person.
We work with participants, GPs and the wider service system to support mental, physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
Where you come in
As Service & GP Partnerships Manager, you will be at the centre of making this approach work including the opportunity to build team from the ground up.
You will then lead the service's Team Leaders, providing clinical and operational leadership across our four hubs and their surrounding communities.
You'll provide governance and operational leadership, supporting Team Leaders and their teams to navigate complex situations, make sound decisions and deliver safe, high-quality, person-led care.
Working closely with GPs, general practices, primary care providers and community organisations, you will help build and maintain strong, trusted partnerships that support positive referral pathways, shared understanding of local mental health and wellbeing supports and more coordinated care across services.
And while you'll provide leadership and direction, this isn't a role that happens from behind a desk.
You will be out in the community, visiting teams and practices, building relationships and seeing firsthand the impact of the work you're leading.
Regular travel across the Murrumbidgee region will be part of the role.
Please Note:



this position can be based out of any of our offices – Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin, Griffith and Young.
Why this role matters
Mental health care can be complex.
Finding the right support can be challenging and for people living in regional communities, having services that are connected and accessible can make a significant difference.
That's why Better.
Together.
exists.
You'll be joining a team that believes good mental health care is about more than one service, one appointment or one professional, it's about people working together.

All of our teams work to ensure everyone can imagine and achieve their hopes and potential.
We know that people are unique and the experts on their life and are not defined by impairments, diagnosis or labels.
