For over 30 years, Lighthouse Disability Ltd has been a leading provider of disability support in South Australia.  Lighthouse is a values-based organisation with a long and successful history of service to adults with complex and diverse disabilities.  With around 250 staff, revenue of approximately $30m and a very strong balance sheet, the organisation has successfully grown and consolidated in recent years.

Following the successful tenure and retirement of outgoing incumbent, Tim Jackson, later this year, an opportunity has arisen for a new Chair to lead the highly experienced, skills-based Board of Directors with a particular focus on candidates who have the values, integrity, strategic credibility, commercial acumen, warmth, empathy and authentic affinity with the Lighthouse mission to make a lasting impact. Expressions of interest are most welcome from candidates from a broad range of professional disciplines and industry settings.

Applications are encouraged from appropriately qualified and proven non-executive directors with demonstrated experience leading transformational developments and advocating for a customer/community facing organisation in an environment of reform and constant change.  GAICD status or preparedness to achieve this will be a strong preference, as will be the capacity to apply the appropriate focus and time to the position.  

Make an enquiry to explore this fulfilling voluntary governance role guiding a buoyant and worthy entity making a genuine difference to the lives of people with a disability.

Alive Catholic Early Learning is committed to creating positive early learning experiences for children aged from 6 months to 5 years.  It currently has three centres, one based in the northern suburbs, one in the south-western suburbs and one in the Adelaide Hills.  Two further centres are in the planning stages and a progressive rollout of further sites is envisaged over the next five years and beyond.  This growing organisation provides a caring and supportive environment for children and is characterised by educational excellence, quality staff and a close partnership with families.

Based from a central office on the fringe of the Adelaide CBD, this position will be a challenging but rewarding opportunity to contribute to the future growth and direction of an exciting portfolio of Early Learning Centres (ELCs).  Key responsibilities include:

• leading and developing a portfolio of ELCs, ensuring consistent and high quality service delivery to children and their families;
• assisting in the identification, assessment and implementation of new sites;
• achieving strict compliance at each site with respect to legislative obligations, industrial agreements, industry standards and assessments, codes of practice and applicable policies and procedures;
• managing and monitoring the operations, financial performance and human resources of the business.

Applications are encouraged from candidates with appropriate qualifications in early childhood education and previous experience managing a multi-site or large early years education facility. Resilience, diplomacy, initiative, warmth, good humour and exceptional interpersonal skills will all be essential requirements, as will strong commercial acumen to ensure sound decision making across the business.  As this is a hands-on role, the ability to oscillate between operational and strategic demands will be important.
