About the organisation
With over 300 staff across NSW including Wollongong, Nowra, Goulburn, Wagga Wagga, Griffith and Deniliquin, CareSouth provides early intervention, child protection, youth support, permanency support and foster care, and NDIS services to young people, families and whole communities.
CareSouth is currently undergoing a period of organisational transformation and renewal under the leadership of the new CEO. This is an opportunity to join an organisation deeply committed to a "practice first, people first" philosophy, where corporate services exist to enable frontline teams to deliver better outcomes for vulnerable people and communities.
About the role
Reporting directly to the CEO and sitting on the executive leadership team, the Executive Director Corporate Services will provide strategic and operational leadership across a broad corporate services portfolio. This highly visible and influential role leads organisational change, governance uplift, technology strategy and cultural transformation.
The role has been created to strengthen executive oversight, improve organisational capability and ensure corporate functions operate as trusted business partners supporting frontline service delivery. Key priorities include developing a long‐term technology roadmap, supporting the redesign of the risk management framework, strengthening governance and accountability, supporting funding diversification and embedding a collaborative, service‐oriented culture across corporate services functions.
Skills and Experience Required
You are a people‐centred and pragmatic executive leader with strong commercial, governance and leadership capability. Ideally you bring an understanding of the delivery of family, youth, children's and out‐of‐home care services, or similar, and thrive in environments undergoing change and transformation, while balancing strategic thinking with hands‐on leadership and building trusted relationships across teams and communities.
You also have experience in:
* Governance, risk, compliance, Board communication and reporting
* Financial management, fundraising and organisational sustainability
* Technology, systems, digital transformation, cybersecurity and contemporary business systems
* Stakeholder engagement and relationship‐building with strategic partners and community
Experience within not‐for‐profit, human services, health, disability, government or similarly regulated sectors will be highly regarded.
Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to support organisational development and the delivery of services creating meaningful outcomes for vulnerable children, young people, individuals and communities across regional New South Wales.
