Are you an experienced disability professional who leads by example, thrives in complex support environments and is passionate about delivering exceptional participant outcomes?

Sunrise2Sunrise is seeking confident, capable and compassionate House Managers to lead our Supported Independent Living (SIL) and complex support services across Melbourne's northern and south‑eastern suburbs.

These opportunities are suited to experienced House Managers, Team Leaders and experienced Disability Support Workers who bring strong operational knowledge, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to participant rights, safeguarding and quality service delivery.

We are particularly interested in individuals who understand the complexities of supporting people with intellectual disability, psychosocial disability and behaviours of concern, and who can confidently guide teams in delivering consistent, trauma‑informed and person‑centered supports.

About the Prospect

As a House Manager, you will play a key role in the day-to‑day leadership and coordination of a supported living or respite service, ensuring participants receive safe, consistent and individualised supports that reflect their needs, preferences and goals.

Working closely with your Area Manager, you will provide practical leadership to your team, maintain strong operational oversight and foster a positive, accountable and supportive workplace culture.

This is a hands‑on leadership opportunity requiring someone who can balance participant outcomes, staff development,



service quality and operational responsibilities.

About the Role

As a House Manager, you will provide hands‑on leadership and operational oversight across a range of support environments, including 1:1 and 2:1 support arrangements. Working collaboratively with your Area Manager, you will lead your team, maintain compliance obligations and ensure the delivery of safe, consistent and high‑quality participant supports.

Your responsibilities will include:

Lead and support your team, providing day‑to‑day guidance, mentoring and direction while fostering a positive, professional and accountable workplace culture.

Ensure quality, person‑centered supports that uphold participant rights, dignity, independence, choice and control.

Maintain compliance with the NDIS Practice Standards, NDIS Code of Conduct, organisational policies, procedures and relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.

Oversee the implementation of individualised support plans, including Positive Behaviour Support Plans, risk assessments, health management plans and other relevant participant documentation.

Promote trauma‑informed and least‑restrictive practices, ensuring staff understand and consistently implement appropriate strategies when supporting participants with complex needs and behaviours of concern.

Maintain strong safeguarding oversight, identifying,



responding to and escalating incidents, risks, changes in participant presentation and potential concerns.

Oversee incident reporting and documentation, ensuring records are accurate, timely and complete, with appropriate follow‑up actions implemented.

Coordinate daily household operations, including staff responsibilities, shift handovers, appointments, household routines and the maintenance of a safe and welcoming environment.

Monitor staff performance and compliance, ensuring team members understand their responsibilities, complete required training and consistently follow participant support plans and organisational expectations.

Work collaboratively with Area Managers and Allocations to identify staffing requirements, address roster concerns and maintain continuity and consistency of supports.

Build positive relationships with participants, families, guardians, allied health professionals and other stakeholders to support effective communication and coordinated service delivery.

Drive continuous improvement, identifying opportunities to strengthen service quality, team capability, safeguarding practices and participant outcomes.

Above all, you will lead by example, demonstrating accountability, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to creating a home environment where participants feel safe, respected and empowered, and where staff are supported to deliver their best work.
