At The Salvation Army Employment Plus, we've supported over half a million Australians into work since 1998. We're seeking an experienced Employment Services professional to join our national Quality team, supporting operational excellence, continuous improvement and audit readiness across our network.

Whether you're currently an Employment Consultant, Team Leader, Site Manager, Trainer or Compliance professional, this is an opportunity to leverage your industry knowledge in a role that helps shape quality outcomes nationally.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a hybrid role based at our Territory Headquarters in Blackburn (2 days per week in the office).

As a Quality Specialist, you'll work closely with operational leaders and frontline teams to ensure best practice service delivery, support audit preparation and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting internal audits, reviews and quality assurance activities.
• Supporting sites and managers before, during and after audits and accreditation reviews.
• Coaching staff and leaders on compliance requirements, quality standards and best-practice servicing.
• Supporting the onboarding and development of new leaders and team members.
• Identifying risks, trends and improvement opportunities through data analysis and file reviews.
• Assisting with the development and review of operational policies, procedures and resources.

If you're ready to broaden your impact beyond a single site and influence quality outcomes nationally, we'd love to hear from you.
