Are you an experienced leader ready to manage one of Melbourne’s largest STA/SIL sites?
Carestays is a 19-room residential facility, far larger than standard 3–5 bedroom group homes — and we’re looking for a House Manager with genuine management-level leadership experience.
This role is not suitable for support workers or team leaders stepping up for the first time. We're looking for a candidate with a proven history in NDIS service delivery, staff management, operational oversight, and regulatory compliance — ideally at scale.
About the Role

Lead a team across multiple shifts and disciplines
Drive compliance and quality at an operational level
Manage systems, not just people
Create structure, not just respond to it
Key Responsibilities
Oversee daily operations and staff performance
Ensure full NDIS compliance and audit readiness
Deliver high-quality, person-centered care
Manage rosters and resolve staffing issues
Handle documentation, health/safety checks, and financial reporting
Provide after-hours support (on-call)
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
95% roster coverage
100% compliance in audits
≥90% client satisfaction
Full training and performance review completion
Regular safety checks and fire drills
What You’ll Need
Diploma or Cert IV in Disability, Management, or related field
Proven experience managing SIL, disability, or aged care services
Strong knowledge of NDIS standards
Confident leadership and delegation skills
Great communicator, calm under pressure, highly organised
Why Join Carestays?
Manage one of Melbourne’s largest and most active SIL homes
Lead a large, dedicated team with clear purpose

A genuine leadership role with real responsibility
Competitive salary: $95,000–$120,000
