About the role

In particular, the Business Manager performs a key role in the management of the Market Gardens and Farming Operations.

The Business Manager manages all the business planning, financial, human resource, assets, information technology and administrative functions for the prison, including the approvals for farm livestock sales, purchases and market gardens/orchards produce.

The position manages the PPD system, GROH housing requirements, has oversight of the canteen and stores, wastewater treatment plant and water testing requirements.

They work with the Industrial & WHS Manager to manage VSO work output, the safe and effective operation of all workshops and OSH management, while ensuring prison industry resources are used to best meet customer demand with an emphasis on production and supply, prisoner employment and training, and contract management.
