The role

Own a portfolio of supported living homes with true person-centered care

Manage the operational and care delivery across a dedicated portfolio of Supported Independent Living homes in Melbourne's west.

Lead House Supervisors, ensure compliant Rosters of Care, coordinate plan reviews, and serve as the trusted primary contact for participants and families.

Key leadership duties

  • Oversee participant care plans, health management protocols, and roster of care compliance.

  • Supervise and support house leaders, conducting regular house audits and quality checks.

  • Facilitate participant onboarding, move-ins, and compatibility assessments for shared living.

  • Liaise directly with Support Coordinators, allied health clinicians, and family representatives.

  • Manage incident reviews, safeguarding measures, and continuous quality improvement initiatives.

What you will bring

  • NDIS Worker Screening clearance and Victorian driver licence.

Helpful, not essential

Having a capped portfolio means I actually know every resident by name, their family, and their goals. It's real care management, not just paperwork.
