Seasoned Board Director with clinical care experience and a curious mindset, invited to join the Board of an eminent national not-for-profit serving the Deaf community.
* Role remunerated
* Board meets every second month (mostly virtual) with some event attendances
* Solid financial foundation, well credentialed Board with high performing Executive
This national enterprise is Australia’s largest provider of whole-of-life services for Deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing individuals.
Through a wide range of programs and supports, it plays a vital role in enabling individuals to make informed choices, connect to community and live their best lives. Services offer people across all stages of life, ready access to inclusive and culturally appropriate care and support. These service offerings are scrutinised by the Board to ensure they are always responsive to the real needs of the community.
Beyond its excellent inclusive service delivery, this social impact organisation also works to remove cultural and language barriers, influence public policy and promote equity. Leading with purpose, with a respect for Deaf history and language, it ensures the voices of the Deaf community are heard and respected. It is also the largest employer of Deaf people in Australia.
With the evolving Aged Care reforms in Australia, this board has chosen to proactively strengthen its leadership by aligning clinical expertise with the specific care it provides.
And this expertise will bring proficiencies around aged care, disability services, or community health — particularly within culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations or Deaf and hard of hearing communities.
Packaged within these proficiencies will be expertise in quality service delivery and clinical insight that could include allied health disciplines such as audiology, speech therapy, social work and/or in-home support.
This organisation is not a medical service provider, but a community that celebrates Deaf identity and culture on a national basis.
Consequently, this role will require candidates to bring:
* an appreciation for the diversity of communication styles and approaches within the Deaf community - and of course within the Boardroom
* experience of governance as a Director, Committee Chair or Deputy Chair in a complex organisation of scale, ideally with AICD credentials or equivalent
* Financial acumen + expertise in clinical governance, quality/safety oversight and community service leadership
You will also need to be an unequivocal team player.
You will willingly dedicate your time, energy, curiosity, skills, creativity, contacts and personal brand as part of a force with the power to change lives. But the overarching attribute that we hope you can offer is your keenness to champion ‘your’ organisation at every appropriate opportunity.
Of course there’s more. But if you believe you have what it takes to help this esteemed Board to continue its mindful growth - without ever compromising its fine service values and mission - then we are very keen to hear from you.
Please submit your application with a covering letter that tells your unique story – including details of lived experience - and why that makes you the right person to add strength to this prestigious Board at this time.
To be considered for this role, please forward your cover letter and your resumein WORD format quoting reference number MCBDDC to apply@windsor-group.com.au or contact Mike Conroy on 07 3211 0001 .
