Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:

• Providing inspirational leadership to Village teams, driving high performance and consistency across communities
• Championing resident satisfaction through quality service delivery, WHS compliance, and operational excellence
• Attending resident committee meetings, represent organisational values, and foster open communication
• Guiding strategic planning, local sales initiatives, and occupancy growth
• Collaborating with stakeholders on capital projects, budget oversight, and continuous improvement
• Be the vital conduit between head office strategy and frontline delivery

• A strong background in multi-site leadership within retirement living, aged care, health, hospitality, or community services
• Proven ability to manage operational budgets, drive performance, and foster a culture of care
• Excellent interpersonal skills and experience building trust with residents, teams, and external partners
