  • A coaching mindset that builds capability, accountability and confidence in others
  • Proven ability to shape culture and develop highly engaged, high‑performing teams
  • Strong commercial acumen across budgets, occupancy, workforce planning and operational performance
  • Deep commitment to quality care, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement
  • Adaptability and resilience in a fast‑paced, highly regulated environment
  • A positive mindset with a strong capacity to create momentum
  • Alignment with Opal values: Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Excellence

What We Offer

  • A career‑defining leadership role with significant opportunity to influence outcomes and drive organisational success
  • Strong regional support, established frameworks and robust systems to set you up for success
  • Access to Opal Leadership School and scholarships of up to $15,000 for further development
  • The ability to lead with autonomy, backed by comprehensive organisational resources
