Are you ready to lead a service where you can actually know your residents, your staff - and make a real impact?

Latitude Recruitment is partnering with Rural Northwest Health to recruit a Nurse Unit Manager for Yarriambiack Lodge, a 60-bed residential aged care facility in Warracknabeal.

This is the sweet spot of aged care leadership.

Large enough to lead meaningfully.
Small enough to lead well.

Why a 60-Bed Facility Changes Everything

In a 60-bed service, you:

✔ Know your residents and families personally
✔ Have visibility across the entire service
✔ Can influence culture directly
✔ Lead a team without layers of bureaucracy
✔ Focus on quality - not just constant crisis management

This is not a 120+ bed metro facility where you are managing chaos.
This is leadership with presence, autonomy and support.

What You Will Be Leading

• Clinical and operational performance
• Compliance with Aged Care Quality & Safety Standards
• A committed multidisciplinary team
• Workforce planning and rostering
• Continuous quality improvement





You will report into a supportive executive team who value strong leadership - not micromanagement.

The Lifestyle Shift

Warracknabeal offers:

• Affordable housing
• 5-minute commute
• Robust community connection
• Genuine work-life balance
• 40 minute drive from Horsham
• Relocation and accommodation support available

Located between Melbourne and Adelaide, this is a lifestyle move without sacrificing your leadership career.

Who This Role Would Suit

• An experienced aged care NUM seeking a more manageable service
• A metro NUM feeling stretched in a large facility
• A confident ANUM ready to step into a supported leadership role
• A clinician who values culture, accountability and resident-centred care

If you are currently leading in a large facility and feeling like you are constantly firefighting - this could be your opportunity to lead in a setting where your leadership actually sticks.
