This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for an experienced Service Manager or Facility Manager to play a key role in supporting out elderly, their families, our staff and the community.

You are a values driven manager, who strives for excellence and ultimately drives positive customer experience and embraces a culturally diverse workforce.

Strong HR and people management skills including staff leadership and development, succession planning and experience in change management.
High level of communication and interpersonal skills with proven ability to engage residents, families, the community and both internal and external stakeholders.
Business acumen (i.e. budgets, efficient rostering, occupancy) and aged care knowledge relating to funding, accreditation and expected aged care standards.
The ability to unite and lead a team that is focused on high performance in a valuesdriven culture.
Demonstrated understanding of personcentred care and ability to work in a team environment
Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse desirable, not essential
