We are partnering exclusively with a purpose-led organisation within the disability, aged care and human services sector to appoint an experienced Executive Manager, Governance, Risk, Assurance, Compliance & Evaluation (GRACE).
This is a highly influential executive role, reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Executive Team and Board / Audit & Risk Committee.
 
The opportunity
This role will lead the organisation’s approach to:
  • Governance and organisational integrity
    • Enterprise risk management
    • Internal audit and assurance
    • Regulatory compliance across aged care and disability services
    • Incident, complaints and serious incident response
    • Policy, systems, and continuous improvement
    • Building a strong risk, safety and compliance culture
You’ll play a critical role in bringing together two complex regulatory environments and creating a coherent, practical governance, risk and compliance framework that supports both operational excellence and quality outcomes.
 
What we're looking for
We’re looking for a senior leader who brings:
✔ Significant experience across governance, risk, audit or compliance
✔ Strong knowledge of the aged care and/or NDIS regulatory environment, or another highly regulated human services environment
✔ Experience designing and embedding enterprise risk and assurance frameworks
✔ The ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical business solutions
✔ Strong Board, CEO and Executive stakeholder experience
✔ Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
✔ The confidence to challenge, influence and provide trusted advice at an executive level
Formal qualifications in law, business, risk, audit, health, social care or a related discipline are desirable, with governance, risk or audit credentials highly regarded.
 
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to join an organisation where purpose sits at the heart of the work — supporting people to exercise choice, achieve their goals and live the lives they aspire to.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape how governance, risk, assurance and compliance operate across the organisation, while working alongside senior leaders who are committed to continuous improvement and better outcomes.
This is a confidential search. Further information regarding the organisation will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
