Ready to lead programs that change lives?
We’re looking for a compassionate, strategic and people-first leader to head up our Contracted Services Team — an opportunity to support children and young people in care through innovative, trauma-informed practice across Gippsland.

At Junction Support Services, we don’t just talk about better futures — we build them. Every day.

About the Role

This is no ordinary management role. You’ll lead a dedicated team delivering three key services for young people in Out of Home Care:

📚 Education Specialist Support – Re-engaging young people with education and training pathways

You’ll manage staff across Inner and Outer Gippsland, providing coaching, oversight, and operational leadership — ensuring services run smoothly, staff are supported, and the voice of every young person remains at the centre of what we do.

Why You’ll Thrive Here

Lead with purpose – Influence service delivery that has real community impact

Shape the future – Mentor and coach passionate staff to deliver exceptional care

Grow with us – Access to tailored training, career development and paid study leave

Enjoy flexibility – 5 weeks leave + TOIL + salary packaging + professional support

What You’ll Bring

Relevant qualifications in Social Work, Community Services or related fields

A deep understanding of trauma-informed, strength-based practice

Leadership experience in case management or residential care settings

A collaborative, people-focused approach with excellent communication skills
