CSSD Manager

Lead a brand-new CSSD in one of Queensland’s most sought-after lifestyle locations.

A brand-new private hospital on the Sunshine Coast has hit the ground running — and with a busy surgical environment already taking shape, we’re looking for an experienced CSSD Manager to lead the team and play a key role in the continued growth of the service.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, building strong teams and having genuine influence in a modern hospital environment.

The Opportunity
As CSSD Manager, you’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and operation of the CSSD, ensuring high standards across sterilisation, decontamination, instrumentation, compliance and infection prevention.

You’ll be joining a supportive team in a fast-paced environment, with the opportunity to help shape processes and culture within a facility that is still in its early stages of growth.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading and supporting the CSSD team in a busy private hospital environment
• Overseeing the decontamination, sterilisation and distribution of surgical instruments and equipment
• Ensuring compliance with relevant Australian Standards, policies and infection prevention requirements
• Managing workflow, staffing, quality and operational requirements
• Supporting theatre teams and maintaining strong relationships across the hospital
• Driving continuous improvement and maintaining high standards of safety and quality
• Mentoring and developing your team while fostering a positive workplace culture

Why This Opportunity?
Brand-new hospital environment – modern facilities, new equipment and the opportunity to help shape how the service operates.

Already busy and growing – this isn't a CSSD waiting for the hospital to get started. The facility has hit the ground running, creating an exciting and genuinely fast-paced environment.

Supportive team & leadership – join a collaborative environment where your experience and ideas will be valued.

Sunshine Coast lifestyle – swap the daily grind for beaches, sunshine and an incredible coastal lifestyle. Think morning swims, weekend beach days, hinterland escapes and a much more relaxed pace outside of work.

About You
We're looking for an experienced CSSD professional who is ready to take the next step into a leadership role — or an established CSSD leader looking for a fresh challenge.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous CSSD leadership/management experience
• Strong knowledge of sterilisation, decontamination and instrument management
• Excellent understanding of relevant Australian Standards and infection prevention requirements
• Strong organisational and people-management skills
• A collaborative, hands-on leadership style
• Relevant CSSD qualifications and/or experience

Ready for a Change?
If you're looking for more than just another CSSD Manager role — a chance to join a brand-new hospital, lead a growing team and enjoy everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer — we'd love to hear from you.
