• Mornington Peninsula
\n
• Circa $145,000 inclusive of super
\n

\n

\n

Lead the Mornington Peninsula's largest Neighbourhood House at a genuine turning point — a complete, highly engaged Board, a freshly endorsed strategic plan, and a rebuilt governance foundation ready for you to bring to life.

\n

About the Organisation

\n

Capel Sound Community Hub — operating as Rosebud West Community Hub Ltd — is an independent not-for-profit, registered charity and the largest Neighbourhood House serving the Southern Mornington Peninsula predominantly. It delivers community programs, education, food relief, a community café and room hire, supported by around 50 active volunteers and a full, highly engaged Board of Directors.

\n

About the Role

\n

As Hub Manager, you'll be the operational heart of the Hub — translating a clear strategic plan into day-to-day impact, while working as a genuine peer alongside the Early Learning Centre Director. It's a hands-on, community-facing role for someone who is as comfortable presenting to the Board as they are unpacking deliveries or hosting a community lunch.

\n

What You'll Do

\n

\n
• Lead and grow community programs that reflect the Peninsula's changing demographics, including a growing base of young families
\n
• Manage volunteer engagement, screening and onboarding across a team of around 50 volunteers
\n
• Identify, apply for and manage grants and funding to strengthen the Hub's financial sustainability
\n
• Directly manage the Café Manager and on-site café operations, and lead the Hub's food relief programme
\n
• Prepare board papers and reporting that support strong governance and decision-making
\n
• Build a genuinely collaborative peer relationship with the Early Learning Centre Director
\n

\n

\n
• Hands-on and willing to pitch in, regardless of seniority
\n
• Experience with fundraising, grant applications or managing revenue-generating activities such as a café
\n
• Confidence engaging volunteers, staff, community members and partner organisations
\n

\n

What's On Offer

\n

• A clean foundation — A rare, clean-slate leadership opportunity backed by a fully engaged Board
\n
