Summary about this job

Detail information about job Service Manager. Terms and conditions vacancy

• Develop your own unique and talented team
• Initiate strategic partnerships within the Brisbane Region
• Leadership opportunity in Mental Health

What will you be doing?

We have an exciting opportunity for a proactive and innovative leader to help establish our Me Well service in Queensland.

As the Service Manager, you will be responsible for the establishment and ongoing management of the Me Well services in Brisbane and further development throughout Queensland.

You will initiate new strategic partnerships within this region and work collaboratively with existing partners to improve and develop the overall service response to people living with a mental illness within our community.

The role will have a particular focus on the ongoing development of relationships with the Local Area Coordinators and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). 

What you will need to bring to the role?

As the Service Manager for QLD your experience managing a growing team in a rapidly changing environment will be pivotal to your overall success.

At this high growth phase there will be growing pains and your ability to stay cool under pressure, manage your time and keep your eye on the larger goal is imperative. The team will be looking to you to provide answers to questions in an environment where you are “building the plane in the air” so your ability to calmly think through a problem and provide logical, well thought through solutions will make all the difference.

When you see problems you don’t look the other way instead you focus on finding viable solutions. Your coaching approach to team management will fit in nicely with Me Well’s overarching values of honesty and fairness.

You will be able to make hard decisions when required but your management style will be more about building your team members capacity, coaching and supporting them to develop their skills and become leaders of the future.

Ideally you will come to the role with some experience working in the Mental Health sector or from a community service background and have formal qualifications in Mental Health/Human Services. You will be highly skilled in building relationships with external organisations knowing that strong relationships makes for great outcomes.

You will be a highly proficient administrator that is computer savvy and keen to use technology to improve efficiency across the organisation.         

You will also need:

• Your own roadworthy vehicle (or regular access to one) that is fully registered and insured
• A current Queensland drivers licence
• A current police check (within 6 months)
• Valid Blue and Yellow Cards (Must have both)

Why you should come work with us?

Backed by Neami National (one of Australia’s most respected service providers in the mental health sector) Me Well is a national Not-For-Profit organisation setup specifically to provide services under the new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Joining Me Well now in the early roll out stage means you will be working with us to shape how services will be delivered under the new scheme.  This will be a challenging role but offers great opportunities for learning, development and career progression as the organisation rapidly expands over the next 12 months. 

As a Not-For-Profit you will be working for an organisation that values people from all walks of life with rich and varied skills from all sectors and professional backgrounds.

Me Well also offers generous salary packaging with up to $15,900+ in tax free pay per FBT year for full time and part time positions.  If you are passionate about making a real, tangible difference in people’s lives, Me Well is the place for you.
