Help people build the skills that give freedom, dignity, and contribution

Health is about more than health care, it’s about the skills, confidence, and connections that make life more wonderful.

At Primary & Community Care Services (PCCS), we believe the real measure of health is found in the everyday things : paying a bill without stress, cooking a meal with friends, finding the courage to speak up in a group, or simply stepping outside with confidence. These aren’t small wins, they are the very things that make life richer, freer, and more meaningful.

We call this capability-first care : the belief that every person has untapped potential, and that our role is to help unlock it.

Why This Job Matters

Because when people gain new skills, they gain freedom.

Because health is not just about treatment, it’s about belonging, contribution, and confidence.

Because potential is everywhere, and sometimes all it takes is the right coach, mentor, or allied health professional to help unlock it.

Because systems can be complex, and people need someone to simplify the journey and walk beside them.

As Manager Allied Health and Skills Development, you will

Lead a portfolio that unites occupational therapy, psychosocial recovery coaching, low-intensity CBT, social prescribing, and psychology under one powerful ethos : skills build freedom.

Inspire and develop a multi-disciplinary team, OTs, coaches, and contractors, creating a culture where innovation, capability, and compassion thrive.

Keep a small but meaningful caseload yourself, walking alongside clients and modelling what “great practice” looks like.

Partner with our education arm (RTO) and community organisations to weave training, research, and collaboration into everyday practice.

Shape sustainable, innovative services that demonstrate nationally how capability-focused care transforms lives.
