Position Details

About the role: 

The Victorian Collaborative Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing (the Collaborative Centre) is seeking a passionate, strategic and skilled finance specialist to join our team.

The prime focus of the Finance Manager is to ensure that the financial operations of the Collaborative Centre are carried out in an accurate, timely and efficient manner, including providing relevant and accurate financial budgets and reports.

Please note, interviews for this role will be held between 12 December 2024 to 17 December 2024.

About us: 

At the Victorian Collaborative Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing we are unapologetically ambitious in our drive for ground-breaking change to Victoria's mental health and wellbeing system. We are working to ensure people receive mental health and wellbeing support when, where and how they may want it. To do this, we bring people with lived experience together with researchers and experts in multidisciplinary clinical and non-clinical care to develop and provide adult mental health services, conduct research, create dialogue and knowledge-share together.

How you'll make a difference:

The Finance Manager will drive a strong culture of financial accountability across the Collaborative Centre and will work collaboratively with executives and managers to ensure financial sustainability and to build financial capabilities in all areas of the organisation.

The Collaborative Centre utilises the support of the Department of Health's finance and procurement systems, personnel, and procedures. The Finance Manager will bring expertise in navigating and leveraging the finance systems and processes of a very large government department, while being able to deliver the targeted and specific needs of a smaller independent agency.

Suitable applicants will be able to demonstrate:

  • Expert knowledge in public sector budget, financial management and procurement legislation, policies and processes, preferably with experience in both large and small agencies.
  • A relevant tertiary degree and/or post graduate qualifications in accounting or business management or a related discipline.
  • A professional qualification as a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Accountant (CA) or equivalent.
