About genU  

At genU, we are a group of passionate, driven individuals dedicated to making lives happier and healthier, especially for people with disability, ageing, and those experiencing disadvantage. As a not-for-profit organisation, we invest directly back into the communities we serve.  

We welcome diversity in race, culture, spirituality, gender, age, identity, ability, and sexuality. Our commitment is to foster a welcoming, innovative, safe, empowering, and respectful environment where these values are upheld every day.  

Join our team! 

As a Regional Manager within our Disability & Ageing Services division, you’ll take ownership of service delivery within areas of Melbourne or Geelong. More than a manager, we’re looking for a true leader, someone who can navigate ambiguity, drive innovation, and lead from the front.

You’ll work closely with your team to ensure services are high quality, client-focused, financially sustainable, and strategically aligned. Your ability to thrive in change and inspire geographically dispersed teams will be essential. Lead and support service delivery across the region, ensuring quality, compliance, and client-centred outcomes.

Foster a high-performance culture across a dispersed team of Service Delivery Leaders and frontline staff. Manage budgets and resources effectively, aligning delivery with financial and operational targets. Strengthen relationships with community stakeholders, clients, and families, driving engagement and trust.

Represent genU in the community, promoting advocacy, partnership, and collaboration.
