Programs Manager (Residential Services)

Darwin, NT

This is a senior leadership role within residential mental health services.

You’ll lead a group of programs supporting people with complex needs across step-up, step-down and longer-term residential settings. The role combines team leadership, operational oversight and close coordination with clinical services.

The Role

You will:

• Lead residential mental health programs across multiple settings
• Manage and support Coordinators and frontline teams
• Work closely with clinical services and external stakeholders
• Oversee staffing, rostering, risk and service delivery
• Contribute to improving how services operate over time

About You

We’re looking for someone who has experience within mental health services, ideally in residential or community-based settings.

You’ll bring:

• Experience leading teams in a shift-based or 24/7 environment
• Strong understanding of recovery-oriented and trauma-informed practice
• Confidence working alongside clinical or multidisciplinary teams
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a complex setting

If your experience sits outside of mental health service delivery, this role is unlikely to be a fit.

What’s on Offer

• SCHADS Award Lvl 6, $110,102 -$114,893 + super (negotiable dependent on experience) 
• Salary packaging up to $15,900
