• Monitor, evaluate, report on and adapt the program based on feedback and outcomes.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders to promote the program and ensure its success.

• Experience coordinating programs or activities in aged care or community settings. Aged care sector experience is strongly preferred.
• Formal qualifications in Community Services, Aged Care, or a related field.
• A sound understanding of statutory requirements for aged care and early childhood services.
• Strong time management, planning, report-writing and organisational skills.
• Proficiency with MS Office programs and general computer literacy.

• A valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle.

What We Offer

This is a fixed-term, part-time position (with days of work across Wednesday to Friday as either 2 long days or 3 short days) until 30 June 2026, with salary and conditions aligned with the SCHADS Award, based on qualifications and experience.
