Love creating vibrant resident communities? Ready to step up into village leadership?
n
We are seeking a warm, people-focused Retirement Village Manager to lead a boutique seniors retirement community in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

If you're passionate about resident wellbeing, thrive on building relationships, and are ready to broaden your skills into village operations, budgeting, staff leadership and community management, we'd love to hear from you.

A welcoming boutique village with a strong sense of community
n
The opportunity to step into leadership from a lifestyle or resident engagement background
n
Autonomy and variety in your day-to-day work

Building meaningful relationships with residents and families
n
A role where no two days are the same
