Reporting to the Chief of People and Operations (COPO) and a key member of YouthCARE’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the Manager of Systems, Quality, Risk and Compliance is the person who makes sure YouthCARE’s promises hold up under scrutiny. Two of those promises matter more than any other: that every child that YouthCARE cares for is safe, and that when a school community is hit by tragedy, our Pastoral Critical Incident Response (PCIR) teams turn up ready and equipped. This role owns the compliance frameworks behind both, alongside organisational risk, quality, legislative compliance, IT and reporting.

The frameworks this role owns only matter if they change what happens on the ground: whether a child protection audit finding actually gets closed out, whether a chaplain gets proper support after a critical incident, and whether the Board can trust what it is being reported. The role audits, monitors and reports on whether YouthCARE is meeting its obligations, and escalates plainly when it is not, working closely with SLT colleagues across portfolios.

It also carries operational accountability for YouthCARE’s IT infrastructure, core systems including MyCARE, and the Power BI environment that the Executive Leadership Team and Board rely on to see what is really happening.

Reporting to the Chief of People and Operations, the Manager of People and Culture is accountable for developing and implementing the operational frameworks, plans and standards that give effect to the strategic direction set by the Executive Leadership Team for YouthCARE's people and culture.

The Manager of People and Culture develops each framework and plan in close collaboration with Senior Leadership Team members, whose teams will be the ones delivering service and mission through them, to build a culture of genuine ownership and engagement.

The Manager of People and Culture leads a regionally aligned HR Mission Partner team and the day-to-day delivery of YouthCARE’s organisational learning and development function, and is a trusted operational partner to the CoPO on workforce delivery.
