Introduction:
Relationships Australia Tasmania (RA Tas) is a community-based, not-for-profit organisation firmly committed to helping people and communities thrive. We deliver a variety of programmes to assist individuals and families.

Description:
Our culture is the foundation upon which everything else is built. That’s why we invest in building an environment where our people feel supported and motivated to help make our vision a reality. We believe that a collective effort that draws upon the diverse strengths of all staff create the best results.

The diverse background and perspectives of our staff, the people we support, and our inclusive and collaborative culture are the keys to our success.

We are seeking an experienced, values-driven and motivated leader to manage our Separation and Support Services across Tasmania.

This leadership role provides strategic and operational oversight of specialist services supporting individuals, parents and families who are separated, separating or experiencing post-separation conflict. Services focus on reducing conflict, strengthening safety, supporting effective co-parenting and promoting arrangements that prioritise the wellbeing of children.

As a member of the RA Tas Management Team, you will work closely with the Executive and fellow Managers to deliver high-quality, safe, child-focused and evidence-informed services that respond to complex family needs, meet funding requirements and support organisational priorities.

You will ensure strong clinical and practice governance, including effective risk screening, ethical decision-making and quality assurance, particularly in matters involving family violence, high conflict and child safety concerns.

You will support and supervise a multidisciplinary workforce, fostering a culture of collaboration, professional development and reflective practice while overseeing service performance and reporting requirements.

Working collaboratively across the organisation, you will contribute to strategic planning, service integration and funding opportunities, build strong partnerships with legal, community and government stakeholders, and fulfil senior safeguarding responsibilities to promote child-safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces.

Do you fit the bill?

• Demonstrated senior leadership experience within community or human services environments

• Highly developed communication, leadership and stakeholder engagement skills
• Tertiary qualification and extensive experience in a relevant discipline and/or a combination of experience, expertise and competence to perform the role.
