Facility Nurse Manager - Aged Care
Christchurch | $130,000-$140,000

Are you an experienced aged care leader ready to take the next step in your career? Join a modern, well-established care centre where you'll have the opportunity to lead a dedicated team and make a genuine difference in the lives of residents and their families.

This 81-bed service provides rest home, hospital, palliative and respite care, along with a specialised 21-bed dementia unit. Reporting to the Clinical Operations Manager, you'll be supported by an experienced leadership team, including a long-standing Clinical Nurse Manager, Service Manager and Unit Coordinator.

As Facility Nurse Manager, you'll oversee the day-to-day operations of the service, ensuring exceptional clinical standards, regulatory compliance and a positive team culture. We're seeking a leader who is firm but fair, able to inspire their team while maintaining high expectations and delivering outstanding resident care.

Ideally, you will be a New Zealand Registered Nurse with experience in a non-clinical management role. However, candidates with significant aged care leadership experience and a strong operational background will also be considered.

To succeed in this role, you will bring:
  • A strong understanding of New Zealand health regulations, audits and quality systems
  • Proven leadership and people management skills
  • The ability to coach and support nursing and care teams
  • Excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving abilities
  • A commitment to continuous improvement and exceptional resident outcomes
This is a full-time position with an ASAP start available. Participation in the on-call roster is required.
If you're ready to join a supportive, established team and shape the future of a thriving care community, apply today.

If you're ready to take the next step in your leadership career and join a supportive aged care organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
