- Drive strategy and growth in children’s therapy services
- Well established highly respected NFP with outstanding culture
- Lead a high performing allied health and client service team

Established in 1874 and celebrating 150 years in 2024, Can:Do 4Kids, Townsend House is South Australia’s oldest children’s charity. The Group’s rich history inspires Can:Do 4Kids’ specialist early intervention and therapy services for children who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, have low vision and/or developmental delays. Can:Do Hearing is the social enterprise audiology business, trusted by over 10,000 clients across five clinics, they are South Australia’s hearing care experts.

As a much respected incumbent steps away from her role, an opportunity for an emerging or proven qualified with a commercial and clinical brain and a social heart has emerged. Reporting to the Can:Do Group CEO, the role provides strategic and operational oversight of the Can:Do 4Kids portfolio. Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and a highly accomplished and skills-based board, responsibilities of this key role include:

- enabling successful and sustainable delivery of high quality services to clients, families and focus communities;
- proactively identifying and driving business growth and diversification initiatives and ongoing operational improvements;
- building and maintaining effective relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders;
- contributing to overall organisational strategy and sustainability;
- accountability for the financial success and clinical governance of the Can:Do 4Kids division;
- leading, motivating, developing and mentoring a dedicated, established and talented team of around 30 clinical,



allied health practitioners and support staff.

This position will suit a tertiary qualified leader with experience leading a team ideally within a human services workplace. Whilst clinical qualifications in a health related discipline and exposure to the NDIS will naturally be well regarded, applications are also invited from candidates from a different professional discipline who believe they can demonstrate transferable skills and experience. The successful appointee will be an intelligent, committed, pragmatic, data-focused professional displaying flexibility, initiative, curiosity, drive, warmth, empathy, energy and well developed interpersonal and stakeholder relationship building skills.

A genuine affinity with the vision and purpose of a not-for-profit organisation of this type will be a fundamental requirement, as will be the capacity to model the Can:Do Group’s values of genuine care, honesty and integrity, doing the right thing, collaboration and professionalism.

An attractive remuneration package including excellent professional development and leave clauses and salary sacrificing options is offered to secure the right person. This is a rare opportunity to join and lead a significant sub business within a most worthy, respected and authentic Adelaide based service provider experiencing strong growth as it continues to add value to its community.
