About the Role

Clinical management is central to support Home Care. It provides the structure to ensure care is accurately assessed, planned and continuously reviewed, bringing together clinical and allied health inputs into a cohesive, well-governed approach.

This ensures care delivery remains clinically sound while still aligning to the individual’s goals, preferences and level of independence — balancing risk, autonomy and safety in a way that is both considered and evidence-based.

We are seeking an experienced Clinical Manager to join our Home Care team in a pivotal leadership role supporting the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based clinical and allied health services.  This is a full-time maternity leave position (Monday to Friday) based in Tasmania, with flexibility to be located at our Lindisfarne or Launceston office.

Working closely with the Case Management team, you will help ensure services are responsive to client needs and aligned with organisational policies, supporting a consistent and client-centred approach to care. Through collaboration with clients, their representatives and key stakeholders, you will contribute to care that is coordinated, holistic and focused on wellbeing.

You will also play an important role in strengthening relationships with external providers, helping to establish integrated care pathways that enhance continuity of care for clients living at home.

With a strong focus on clinical governance, this position contributes to maintaining quality standards through audit oversight, compliance, and the ongoing development of policies, quality indicators and governance frameworks that support best practice across clinical care.
