About the organisation
The OzHelp Foundation Ltd (OzHelp) was established in 2001 after David O’Bryan, a young Canberra apprentice, took his own life. In the 20 years since, OzHelp has become a national leader in providing essential mental health and wellbeing services to Australia’s 3 million plus, workers in high-risk, hard to reach industries. OzHelp’s outreach approach takes support to the workplaces and communities across Australia, with a specific focus on the building and construction, and transport and logistics industries, and future phased entry into manufacturing, agriculture and mining.
OzHelp’s internal programs are clinically sound, with accreditation under the National Mental Health Standards and Suicide Prevention Australia, also having won various industry awards and being recognised as a Great Place to Work certified organisation. The auditing, consulting, and counselling services the Foundation provides, are helping change conversations in Australian workplaces about the importance of mental health, wellbeing and psychological safety.
OzHelp’s mission is to transform the lives of workers in high-risk, hard to reach industries, supporting our vision of an Australia without suicide.
About the role
Mental health and suicide has always been a tough subject to discuss; numbers and data do not do justice to the impact on those who are struggling, those who have lost their lives, and those who work tirelessly to support people facing mental health challenges.
OzHelp has an exceptionally capable, driven, passionate and purposeful team working towards an ambitious three-year Strategic Plan and a rare and exciting opportunity has become available for an ambitious, strategic, and purposeful leader to join our Foundation and build on the trusted reputation, growth and success to date, as our current Executive Director returns to the Board.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will work closely with the Board of Directors to guide the Foundation’s vision and strategy, enhance day-to-day operational management, and maintain a strong financial foundation to underpin significant growth as they embark on their next positive chapter.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to the purpose and beliefs of the organisation, leading a committed and valued team, have sound leadership and people management capability, experience in growing a business and implementing a careful growth strategy, ideally in the not-for-profit sector and be skilled at managing and developing a diverse range of stakeholder relationships.
