Job specific information
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and values driven General Manager to lead our Central Region and provide senior operational leadership for CCS Disability Action Services.
The role is accountable for safe, high-quality, consistent and financially sustainable service delivery, strong people leadership, and effective regional relationships in alignment with organisational strategy and values.
You will play an active role as part of both the Operational Leadership Team and the National Leadership Team, with a focus on service delivery and performance, operational consistency and the implementation of strategy.

Knowledge of the not‑for‑profit and government funding environment.
