Hey you!

Know Tasmania’s disability sector? Love bringing people, communities and great services together? This could be your next leadership opportunity.

genU is looking for an experienced State Manager Disability & Ageing to lead our services across Tasmania.

This is a senior leadership role with genuine scope to make an impact – shaping the direction of our Tasmanian services, supporting great teams, building strong local partnerships and ensuring the people we support receive high-quality, sustainable and person-centred services.

At genU, we’re a profit-for-purpose organisation, reinvesting our success back into programs to create real social impact. From disability and aged care support to community-focused initiatives, we’re here to help people live their best lives.

We're open to flexible hours, part-time, or job share arrangements – because great people thrive in different ways.

What you’ll do

As our State manager Disability & Ageing you’ll:

• Lead our Disability & Ageing services across Tasmania, setting clear direction and supporting teams to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients, employees and the organisation.
• Be a trusted face of genU in Tasmania, building strong relationships with government, regulators, community organisations, advocacy groups and sector partners.
• Balance purpose with performance, driving financial sustainability, service improvement and thoughtful growth opportunities across the state.
• Keep quality and the people we support at the centre, championing person-centred services while ensuring we meet our NDIS, Aged Care and broader regulatory responsibilities.
• Lead and grow great teams, creating an inclusive, collaborative environment where people feel supported to do their best work.

What you’ll bring

• Senior leadership experience within disability services, human services, community services or a related sector, with the confidence to lead complex service delivery operations.
• A strong understanding of the disability sector – its opportunities, challenges, funding environment, reforms and what great contemporary service delivery looks like.
• Commercial and operational confidence, including experience with budgets, workforce leadership, performance, continuous improvement and organisational growth.
• Strong Tasmanian connections and credibility, with the ability to build trusted relationships across government, community and sector networks.
• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Leadership and Management, Disability Services or a related discipline.
• A genuine ability to bring people with you – you’re an engaging communicator, collaborative leader and confident influencer who can work across teams, communities and senior stakeholders.

(You’ll also need an NDIS Worker Screening Check and Orientation Module Certificate – but don’t worry, we’ll help guide you through this.)
