Across Queensland, NDIS participants rely on teams who deliver safe, consistent and genuinely person-centred support. Behind every one of those teams is a leader who sets the direction and holds the standard. As General Manager, that leader is you.

You’ll lead Kanda’s Disability operations across the state, with full accountability for service quality, financial performance and growth. You’ll shape the business plan and budget, build new referral relationships with stakeholders, lead tender responses, and guide the Service Development & Regional Managers who bring it all to life each day. It’s a senior role where strategy and delivery meet, and where strong care and strong commercial results are expected to go hand in hand.

This is a 12-month fixed term opportunity covering a secondment, and you can be based in Rockhampton, Mackay or Brisbane. For the right leader, it’s a chance to make a real mark on how Kanda delivers disability services across Queensland.

What you’ll be doing

Developing and delivering the Disability operational business plan and budget

Overseeing rostering and service delivery so participants get continuity of care and the business keeps healthy margins

Planning for workforce optimisation, controlling overheads and improving efficiency across our Disability systems and processes

Making sure we meet all NDIS Quality and Safeguarding standards and staying across changes to awards, legislation and funding body pricing

Leading business development with Support Coordination and Plan Manager businesses, funding bodies and other contacts to build new referral sources

Leading tender responses and working with the Marketing Manager and Service Development Managers on sales plans and promotion

Coaching and developing your people, identifying future leaders and building a culture where learning is encouraged

Forecasting monthly, spotting revenue and margin gaps early, and putting plans in place to meet budget
