Program Manager - Residential (Sydney)

We are currently partnering with a not-for-profit organisation to recruit a Program Manager to lead a residential service supporting young people and parents.

This is a full-time leadership role based in Sydney, responsible for the oversight of a 24/7 residential program designed to support young people (typically aged early teens to mid-20s).

The role will lead service delivery, ensuring a high-quality, trauma-informed and evidence-based approach across the program, while also overseeing a multidisciplinary team and the day-to-day operations of the residence.

The program focuses on supporting young people to build independent living skills, strengthen parenting capability, and improve long-term outcomes. The service also includes elements of outreach and aftercare support across multiple locations.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the operational delivery of a residential program
• Providing leadership, supervision, and development to staff
• Embedding trauma-informed and best-practice service models
• Overseeing case management frameworks and service outcomes
• Ensuring compliance, quality, and continuous improvement
• Managing stakeholder relationships across the sector

This role would suit an experienced leader within youth services, homelessness, out-of-home care, or family services, with a strong understanding of complex needs and therapeutic service delivery.

SCHADS 5-6 rate. This is initially a contract starting asap and likely to be extended to permanent based on performance and funding requirements.
