What This Role Is Really About
Parkerville has done the hard work – growth, expansion, and
a diverse portfolio of sites that support children, young people and families
across WA. Now we need someone to take ownership of how our physical
environments and assets support that work every day.
This is not just a facilities role. It’s a role for someone
who understands that safe, compliant, well-managed environments are critical to
delivering trauma-informed care - and that how we maintain our spaces directly
impacts the experiences of the people who walk through them.
This is a full-time role, based in Burswood, with work across all Parkerville locations.
The Work
You’ll lead the strategic and operational management of
Parkerville’s property and fleet portfolio, ensuring our assets are safe,
compliant, sustainable and fit for purpose.
Working closely with senior leaders, you’ll provide trusted
advice on asset management, risk, compliance and financial performance, while
leading a small team to deliver maintenance, leasing and asset planning across
multiple sites.
This is a role with real autonomy - balancing long-term
planning with day-to-day operational demands.
What You’ll Bring
You understand that behind every building, vehicle, and
contract is the need to support safe, consistent care for children and
families.
You’ll Thrive Here If
You’re confident working autonomously but know when to bring
others with you. You can build strong, productive relationships across a
complex organisation, and you’re comfortable balancing competing priorities
without losing sight of what matters most. You bring a pragmatic mindset, a steady approach, and a
commitment to doing things properly.
