Are you a visionary leader with exceptional strategic and networking capabilities ready to grow the child, youth and family services peak body’s presence and impact in Tasmania?
The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare is the peak body for child and family services in Victoria and Tasmania. We are looking to grow our presence and influence as a peak in Tasmania, supporting members in their advocacy and practice innovation and government in the co-design and implementation of policies and reforms.
Position title: Executive Manager – Strategy and Engagement (Tasmania)
Work type: Full-time (1FTE) 12 months, continuation subject to funding
Pay rate: To be negotiated (salary commensurate with experience) + regulated superannuation (12%) + tax reducing salary packaging
Location: Tasmania – flexible hybrid and in-person work
You need to be living in Tasmania and very familiar with current legislation and policy reforms in the child, youth and family services sector. You need to be able to respectfully and proactively establish new relationships and partnerships and consolidate existing ones. Most importantly, you need to be able to develop and implement a growth strategy which can lead to a sustainable presence for the Centre and its members in Tasmania.
The role is for 12 months in the first instance, with continuation dependent on funding. It could potentially suit someone looking to undertake a secondment for the year although ideally we are looking for someone with a longer term commitment to growing the role of the peak in Tasmania.
