About The Fig Trees

The Fig Trees is a growing NDIS and Support at Home registered provider delivering high-quality disability and aged care services. We are committed to delivering exceptional outcomes for the people we support while building a high-performing organisation that values integrity, accountability, continuous improvement and quality of care.

As our organisation continues to grow, we are seeking leaders who are motivated to build programs, develop people and improve systems—not simply maintain the status quo.

This is an opportunity to play a key leadership role in shaping the future of The Fig Trees.

The Program Manager is responsible for leading the operational performance, continuous improvement and sustainable growth of The Fig Trees' NDIS and Support at Home programs.

Initially, the successful applicant will oversee our established NDIS program while working alongside the Operations Manager and Managing Director to establish and grow our Support at Home program. As the organisation grows, the role will transition into managing one of these programs as a dedicated Program Manager.

This position is suited to someone who enjoys leading change, developing teams, solving operational challenges and taking ownership of measurable outcomes.

The role is not limited to managing day-to-day operations. You will be expected to contribute to building a stronger organisation by improving systems, developing staff capability and supporting sustainable business growth.

4. Client and Stakeholder Management

Build strong relationships with clients, families, support coordinators, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders.
Ensure high-quality, person-centred services are delivered.
Manage complex client situations and complaints.
Promote positive client outcomes while balancing operational sustainability.

5. Business Growth and Financial Performance

Support the growth of NDIS and Support at Home services.
Monitor program revenue, utilisation and costs.
Identify opportunities to improve productivity and financial sustainability.
Contribute to workforce planning and resource allocation.
Assist with business development and service expansion initiatives.

6. Quality, Risk and Compliance

Ensure compliance with applicable legislation, funding requirements and organisational policies.
Monitor documentation standards and service quality.
Support audits, investigations and quality improvement activities.
Work closely with the Quality, Clinical and Compliance Manager to manage organisational risks and implement continuous improvement initiatives.
