Service Leader in Brisbane

At United Disability Care (UDC), we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to Love their Life and Live their Dreams. That starts with having the right people around them - people who genuinely care, lead by example, and want to make every day count. We're looking for a passionate Service Leader who loves what they do, takes pride in delivering quality support, and is ready to make a bigger impact on the lives of the people we support.

• Lead with heart: Build meaningful relationships with participants, their families, and your team.
• Make a real difference: Ensure support is person-led, empowering participants to achieve their goals and live life their way.
• Support your team: Provide guidance, encouragement, and leadership to help Support Workers deliver their best.
• Be hands-on: Stay connected to the day-to-day operations of the SIL service and understand what quality support looks like in practice.
• Drive quality and compliance: Help maintain safe, consistent, high-quality support in line with UDC policies, procedures, and NDIS requirements.
• Lead by example: Bring our ICARE values of Integrity, Collaboration, Adaptability, Respect and Empathy to everything you do.
