As one of the state’s leading not-for-profits, we’re making a meaningful impact at scale. From foster care to aged care and everything in between, our services are as diverse as the people and communities we serve - and we’re growing our reach for the future.

Who we are looking for

We’re looking for an experienced people leader who brings clarity, consistency and confidence to workforce optimisation. This role suits someone who is comfortable leading experienced professionals, setting clear direction, and creating alignment across teams. You’ll bring a calm, considered leadership style and enjoy working with complexity, data and systems to improve how things operate at scale.

While experience in rostering or workforce planning is helpful, it’s not essential. What matters most is your ability to lead people well, think analytically, and work collaboratively in a service-driven environment.

What you’ll do

• Lead and support a skilled workforce rostering team, fostering engagement, collaboration and shared accountability
• Provide clear direction and structure to support consistent, effective workforce planning practices
• Drive workforce optimisation strategies that balance customer outcomes, workforce capability and financial sustainability
• Use data, systems and technology to analyse trends, inform decisions and improve rostering outcomes
• Partner with operational leaders and People & Culture to support service delivery and workforce planning
• Oversee rostering approaches that minimise agency use, overtime and cancellations
• Deliver clear reporting and insights to support informed decision-making at senior leadership level
• Role model a customer-focused, values-led approach across all interactions

What you’ll bring

• Demonstrated experience as a people leader, with the ability to guide, support and develop teams
• A logical, analytical mindset with strong problem-solving capability
• Confidence working with technology, systems and data to drive improvement
• Experience in workforce planning, rostering or operational optimisation (desirable, not essential)
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• A collaborative, values-driven approach aligned to AnglicareSA’s purpose and culture
