We are currently looking for a General Manager to oversee daily operations and the strategic direction of the organisation, ensuring all aspects of the business's mission, operations, and financial management align with our values and objectives.

The General Manager position reports to a Board of Directors, who in turn are appointed by the Southland disAbility Enterprises Charitable Trust.

About the Role

The General Manager role requires someone with strong people management skills, proven leadership experience, a passion for working with people with disabilities, and an aptitude for manufacturing and mechanical processes.

Collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure the continued provision of meaningful employment for our people is a significant part of the role, as is working with our generous community funders.

Key Responsibilities of the role include (but are not limited to) the following:

You'll also have excellent communication skills with the ability to network and build relationships across a wide range of people in the community and with our contract partners.

Experience with reporting to a Board of Directors would be an advantage, as would resource management and statutory compliance experience.

Above all though, empathy and passion for working with our people is the priority.
