Shape the future of clinical care at home. Lead with heart. Build what’s next.

Imagine a model of care where older people experience one connected team, not a string of separate services. Where clinical expertise flows through every visit, every conversation and every decision. That’s the opportunity waiting for our current Chief Clinical Officer. You will have the scope to further design and grow our clinical services to support our clients to stay living at home well and to position Melville Cares and Western Suburbs Cares as a leader in clinical care and innovative models.

Melville Cares is seeking an inspiring, forward thinking clinical leader to join our Executive Team in this newly created full time role.

With the Aged Care Act 2024 and Support at Home reshaping the sector, this is a pivotal moment to join us. We currently offer a range of clinical supports and have a highly skilled team and are ready to take this to the next level to meet the needs of existing clients and to attract new clients. There are a range of reasons older people may be challenged to continue to live at home and we believe having an emphasis on wellness and maximising independence as well as services for complex clinical care makes a pivotal difference.
