About the role

Located in Swan Hill, the Home Care Manager leads the delivery of Support at Home and CHSP services within the region, providing leadership to multidisciplinary teams, overseeing day-to-day operations and ensuring safe, high-quality services for older people living in the community.

The role is responsible for people leadership, operational performance, quality, compliance, stakeholder relationships and continuous improvement.
