About the organisation

Jesuit Social Services is a social change organisation working to build a just society where all people can live to their full potential. We reflect on the critical factors shaping our contemporary world; the social, political and economic contexts, and we adapt our practice to work with those most in need.

Since 1977, Jesuit Social Services has provided services to some of the most disadvantaged in our community.

We place a high priority on advocacy and are a leader in policy development and research.

Job Description

Executive Director – Practice, Insights and Advocacy

For nearly 50 years, Jesuit Social Services has stood in solidarity with people and communities where the need is greatest. This includes those impacted by social, economic and ecological injustices. We understand the interconnectedness of all life and that we are all held and sustained in a web of relationships – across people, place and planet.

In our work we see first hand the impacts of persistent and entrenched disadvantage; the isolation and exclusion of vulnerable people and groups; unacceptable levels of homelessness, mental illness, and imprisonment; and disengagement from education and employment. All of this is compounded by the disproportionate impacts of environmental degradation and climate change on those most in need. This compels us to seek out new ways of thinking and operating – our business is to find solutions.

The Executive Director – Practice, Insights and Advocacy is a leader of this important work. This role has responsibility for strengthening and embedding Jesuit Social Services’ our practice, and integrating practice, research, policy and advocacy to grow our social impact.

We are seeking a dynamic and innovative executive leader who can drive practice excellence and service development; strengthen organisational capacity to synthesise research, lived experience, data and evidence; and oversee advocacy and influencing efforts.

As a member of Jesuit Social Services executive, you will model and uphold our organisational values of being welcoming, discerning and courageous. You will lead highly capable teams across learning and practice development, child safety, data and research, policy and advocacy, and strategic communications and fundraising, while building relationships across the organisation and with key external stakeholders.

Attractive salary and salary packaging is offered together with ongoing professional and career development. This is a full-time position based in Melbourne, with a presence required at Richmond and other Jesuit Social Services locations as needed.

What Jesuit Social Services can offer you:

An organisation that lives its values, through its day to day work
A welcoming and supportive relational environment
A comprehensive Induction and Orientation program
Ongoing training and development related to your role
Employee assistance program
A competitive salary plus salary packaging benefits
Generous leave

child safety obligations, practice and reporting.

strategic communications and fundraising.

Desired Skills and Experience

What we are seeking

This role will suit a candidate with the following skills and experience:

Tertiary qualification/s and senior leadership experience in relevant fields such as social work, health, human services or practice research. Grounded practitioner experience is highly desirable.

Significant senior leadership, people and resource management experience within a social service organisation, including program development and delivery experience.

Demonstrated research and conceptual skills to utilise data and evidence at all points of design, delivery and evaluation.

Experience in leading and contributing to strategic thinking, policy development, advocacy and strategic communications, with the capacity to work proactively and innovatively.

Superior interpersonal and stakeholder engagement skills, with experience building relationships internally and externally and providing leadership consistent with Jesuit Social Services’ identity, ethos and values.
