Job Description

Who are we?
We’ve been supporting individuals and their families and carers across South Australia to improve their health and wellbeing and live better lives for over 30 years. Sonder supports thousands of people each year across the State with their mental health challenges, drug and alcohol use concerns, chronic disease management, homelessness and employment needs.

Why are we hiring? 
We are seeking a new Executive Manager to lead the MH&AOD portfolio following the departure of our current Executive Manager who has accepted a prominent leadership position outside our organisation and therefore this rare and unique opportunity within our organisation has now become available.

We are looking for a dynamic and visionary leader to drive the delivery of innovative mental health and AOD services across metropolitan and rural South Australia. This role is critical as we continue to adapt to the rapidly changing Primary Health Care environment, ensuring our services empower clients to live their best lives.

What benefits can we offer?
When you work with Sonder, you become part of the Sonder family that will provide you with a number of benefits such as:

• Highly competitive remuneration package 
• Flexible working arrangements
• Professional development allowance provided yearly
• Generous salary packaging options - increase your take home pay by 6-12%
• Modern and welcoming office spaces
• Christmas Closure Bonus Leave (above annual leave entitlements)
• Training opportunities
• Meal & entertainment allowances
• Paid parental leave, and much more

Sonder is open to negotiating further benefits with the successful applicant to ensure an excellent working environment for you.

The Executive Manager, Mental Health & AOD will report to the CEO and is a key leader who embodies Sonder’s Purpose, Vision, and Values, fostering a high-performance culture where staff are motivated and committed. This role is crucial in navigating the evolving Primary Health Care landscape, driving the delivery of mental health and AOD programs across both metropolitan and rural South Australia.

With a focus on operational efficiency and agility, the Executive Manager ensures that services empower clients to live their best lives, while strategically positioning the organisation for future growth. Leveraging extensive knowledge and experience, the Executive Manager provides strategic and operational leadership, governance and direction to innovate and enhance service delivery models, including leading the delivery of the Northern Medicare MH Centre (Head to Health).

Experience Requirements:

  • Sound clinical MH background and demonstrated expertise in delivering community MH services in conjunction with state and federally funded entities.
  • Demonstrated capacity to deliver integrated MH services that are informed by lived experience and which are focused on enhancing the consumer journey.
  • Detailed knowledge and practical application of relevant industrial legislation and awards relevant to the primary health care and community services sectors
  • Strong transformational change experience in the areas of workplace culture, workforce development and data-led innovation
  • Substantial experience in providing high level strategic and operational leadership
  • An ability to work collaboratively with the Executive Management Team
  • Highly developed interpersonal and communication skills
  • Strong commercial business acumen with a business development mindset

Qualification Requirements:

  • Tertiary qualification in a relevant mental health discipline – preferably postgraduate with a minimum 5 years operational and strategic experience in delivering focused psychological therapies
  • Leadership & Management experience underpinned by relevant qualifications
  • Expertise in leading high-functioning MH and/ or AOD teams

Applicants are invited to submit a cover letter and resume through Sonder's careers portal on our website.
