We are redefining the ways in which we engage with our customers and deliver our groundbreaking services, and as a result, have created a new role: Customer Experiencer & Engagement Lead  for our Homes & Lifestyle service (Supported Independent Living (SIL)) Ballina and Lismore.

This role is as much about mindset as skillset, philosophy as much as action and values as much as technical requirements. So, if you consider yourself someone with a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, who can keep focus on what matters the most: creating an environment where customer choice is paramount, and they have space to create a home and lifestyle they love. Then this may be a great role for you!
