The people we support want one thing: to stay in their own homes, living the life they’ve built. Making that possible at scale takes exceptional leadership — and that’s this role. As Clinical Operations Manager, you’ll hold senior accountability across Kanda’s Support at Home and In-Home Nursing programs — driving service quality, clinical governance, financial performance and the capability of the people delivering care on the ground.

- Coaching, developing and motivating a high-performing workforce while identifying high-potential people and strengthening succession planning
- Building a culture consistent with Kanda’s values — client-focused, learning-oriented and built on accountability
- Ensuring compliance with professional standards, overseeing incident and complaint management and contributing to Kanda’s clinical governance framework
- Developing care teams matched to individual client needs to deliver continuity of care and reduce field staff turnover
- Ensuring efficient rostering and recruitment, monitoring costs and performance and developing strategies to address overruns promptly
- Delivering on budgets and targets across defined regions and funding programs, and leading plans to grow market share across HITH, PAC, Support at Home and In-Home Nursing
- Acting on client feedback, managing concerns and contributing to marketing, communications and sector viability assessments

- You bring senior management experience within the aged and community nursing sector
- You have experience working within the Support at Home or Home Care Package funding stream
- You have a proven track record managing and coaching high-performing teams
