About the Role

Do you light up a room with your passion and creativity, lead with heart, and have the organisational skills to match?
This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll oversee Bea Care’s Day Programs and group activities, ensuring every participant experiences meaningful, person-centred support that aligns with their NDIS goals.

You'll split your time between coordinating the program, supervising staff, and working directly with participants. It’s a dynamic and rewarding position — juggling priorities, leading a team, and collaborating with allied health professionals, families, and community partners. If you thrive under pressure and get genuine satisfaction from seeing people achieve their goals, this could be your perfect fit.

This is your chance to truly shape and innovate our programs. We’re looking for someone who brings fresh ideas, creativity, and leadership — someone who sees possibilities, embraces innovation, and drives meaningful participant experiences.

We are open to full-time or part-time hours, depending on the successful applicant.

Drive improvement: Review and enhance program delivery to ensure quality and continuous improvement.

Report and communicate: Notify management of any incidents, risks, or reportable matters promptly.

You exude positive energy and enthusiasm that inspires both participants and staff.

You’re a natural leader who balances empathy with accountability.
