Positions

Resthaven Incorporated is a highly respected leader in the rapidly growing aged and community services sector in South Australia.  Engaging a dedicated and passionate workforce of over 3,800 and with an annual turnover circa $300m+, Resthaven has residential, retirement and community sites across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia, delivering quality services to older people and their carers.

After more than a decade of exemplary service, the current incumbent, David Norton, has announced his retirement.  Resthaven seeks a proven executive with a sharp commercial mind and a deep social heart to lead the organisation’s Finance portfolio, to achieve the strategic objectives of Resthaven.  Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer as an important member of the Executive Management Team, key responsibilities include:

• proactively contributing to the strategic direction of the organisation as the key financial adviser to the CEO and Board;
• providing leadership in planning, directing, developing and administering the financial activities of the organisation including accountability for facilities and procurement, finance and investments, and corporate compliance and risk management;
• leading, managing, mentoring and developing a dedicated team across a diverse portfolio;
• maintaining and enhancing important relationships with key external stakeholders;
• ensuring comprehensive analysis and information provision to support and articulate key business decisions.

The successful candidate will be an appropriately qualified and contemporary senior finance executive with demonstrated capability to lead this function in a large organisation through ongoing reform, growth and increasing competition.  Aged care or human services experience may be an advantage, however candidates with significant leadership experience from comparably complex domains are also encouraged to apply.

Essential qualities sought include well-developed commercial, technological and political acumen, together with superior communication, negotiation, stakeholder management and leadership capacity and a sharp eye for business cases.  Warmth, empathy, integrity, strategic insight and credibility will also be necessary to identify, inspire and activate positive change.

Make a difference and join one of South Australia’s leading aged care providers recognised for its exceptional services.  As an employer of choice in aged care, Resthaven offers attractive remuneration packages, employee benefits and a highly supportive and collaborative culture.
