If so, we would love to hear from you. About Continence with Care Continence with Care is a growing Australian continence support business providing professional, compassionate and person-centred continence services to clients across the community. Our work is about much more than continence care. It is about helping people maintain their dignity, independence, confidence and quality of life, while providing families, support workers and other professionals with expert guidance and genuine care. Our business is growing — and our vision is ambitious.

To achieve this, we need exceptional people behind the scenes helping our business operate at its very best. That is where you come in. --- Why this role matters This is not simply an administrative position. This role is pivotal to the future growth of Continence with Care. As the business grows, the Manager needs to spend less time managing emails, administration, scheduling and onboarding — and more time focused on strategic projects, business development, growing our team, improving our services and building the future of the company.
