• Join us in pioneering an innovative program that embraces a flexible clinical model to support survivors right where they are in their journey.
• As a Temporary Program Manager, you’ll team up with a dedicated Permanent Clinical Coordinator to co-create and launch the Hunter New England (HNE) Program from the very beginning.

About The Role

• This is a new management opportunity, and we seek an individual who thrives on independence and is driven by the responsibility of overseeing all aspects of a new clinical service model.
