Civic Disability Services is seeking an experienced and collaborative General Manager Quality, Risk & Compliance to join our Executive Leadership Team.

This is more than a governance and compliance role. We are looking for a leader who can build strong partnerships across the organisation, influence culture, and help teams embed quality, risk, safeguarding and WHS into everyday practice.

About the Opportunity

Drive continuous improvement through analysis of organisational performance, incidents, complaints, feedback and audit outcomes.

Partner closely with operational leaders to strengthen quality, safety and compliance outcomes and support them to proactively identify risks, solve problems and drive continuous improvement.

Build organisational capability and foster a culture where quality, safeguarding and risk management are viewed as enablers of great services rather than administrative requirements.

About You

You will bring:

Executive leadership experience within disability, community services, aged care or another highly regulated setting.

Tertiary qualifications in Business, Quality Management,
