Take responsibility: make things happen.

Well known and reputed, this organisation is a long established, steadily growing NFP and registered charity. Working across Queensland, it provides a wide scope of services around essential early intervention to people of all ages who need mental health support.

Building on its success, with a dynamic leadership, great teams, strong partnerships, a worthy contemporary mission and culture – they are well placed for their future planned sustainable growth.  With a reputation for quality service and a sterling history of helping individuals, families and communities, it sits on a solid financial platform where services attract funding lines.

With its emphasis on organisational purpose achieved through lived values, governance and compliance, this enterprise is known as a trusted and reliable business partner. Astute forward thinking by management and an intelligent Board sees it exceptionally well placed to navigate today’s common challenges of funding, human resource and risk management.

It’s strong, stable and poised for further planned expansion.

But to go forward as intended, this dynamic organisation will need the critical thinking and steady hand of a professionally mature, expert COO. A seasoned professional whose commercial mindset is tempered by the expert knowledge of all that makes a people-centric charitable enterprise sustainable and successful.

Purposeful, hands-on and solutions focused, this new leader must be very comfortable within their capabilities… able to take – and stand by – the often complex decisions that will be needed to grow and develop this vital NFP, and experienced in rolling up your sleeves to make things happen.

There’s a great deal more to this dynamic and influential operations role beyond making sure everything’s snug and running smoothly. It’s also about identifying opportunities of all sorts and shaping the strategies around those for growth, change and relevant service.

Because when all’s said and done, everything here is about people. That means building teams of very special people to be responsive, resilient, passionate and confident in their own strengths… and in the process developing an organisation that sets best practice.

For your application to stand out and carry due weight, you should discuss the nuances with your consultant before crafting a compelling covering letter to tell the story that is uniquely yours. Please include the main value you believe you would add to this exceptional charitable enterprise and indicate why you are especially drawn to this role.
