Some roles are just jobs. This one leaves a mark.
We're looking for a passionate, hands‐on Case Manager to join the Good Start to Life (GSL) team full‐time in Mackay. You'll walk alongside children and young people with complex disability‐related health needs — supporting them, advocating for them and leading a dedicated team of youth workers who show up and do the same.
This is the kind of role where your leadership shapes culture, your care shapes outcomes and the work you do genuinely changes the trajectory of a young person's life.
If that's what gets you out of bed in the morning, we'd love to meet you.
What you'll be doing
Leading and supporting a team of youth workers to deliver consistent, high‐quality and person‐centred care
Developing, implementing and regularly reviewing individual care plans that truly reflect the needs and goals of each young person
Collaborating with stakeholders, government agencies and community partners to ensure coordinated, holistic support
Ensuring mandatory reporting and administrative tasks are completed accurately and on time, every time
Actively participating in supervision, team meetings and stakeholder discussions to drive communication and continuous improvement
Stepping in to provide direct care support to young people when needed to maintain continuity and consistency of care
You're the right person if...
You have demonstrated experience in children,



youth and family services or a similar sector at a management or supervisory level — and you lead with heart as much as skill
You hold a Certificate IV, Diploma or Degree in Child, Youth & Family Intervention, Disability or a related discipline
You have a strong understanding of Child Protection and Disability support and are confident working alongside government and non‐government agencies
You're a natural leader with excellent decision‐making and interpersonal skills who brings out the best in the people around you
You hold a valid Driver's Licence, Working with Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening Clearance and LCS2 Approval (or willing to obtain)
You are willing to travel to Townsville as required to support with building services in the region
