AGED CARE FACILITY MANAGERHOBART, TASMANIA | PERMANENT FULL-TIME

A NEW LEADERSHIP CHAPTER. A FRESH PERSPECTIVE. A MEANINGFUL IMPACT.

Are you an experienced Aged Care Facility Manager ready for a change, or a senior clinical leader looking for the opportunity to step into your first Facility Manager position?

Perhaps you are an established Facility Manager who would welcome the opportunity to lead a smaller residential home, enjoy a more hands-on leadership role and reconnect with the people who make aged care meaningful.

Or perhaps you are a Clinical Manager, Care Manager or Deputy Facility Manager who has developed the experience, confidence and leadership capability to take the next step.

Either way, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

GLH Recruitment & Executive Search is partnering with an aged care organisation to identify an accomplished, compassionate and commercially astute Facility Manager to lead a residential aged care home in Hobart, Tasmania.

This is more than an operational management appointment. It is an opportunity to influence the quality of care, shape workplace culture, develop people and create an environment where residents feel genuinely valued and employees take pride in what they do.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY?

Not every career progression needs to mean a bigger facility, a larger workforce or more layers of management.

Sometimes, the most rewarding next move is finding the right environment where your leadership can have a more direct and meaningful impact.

For an experienced Facility Manager, this could be an opportunity to transition into a more focused residential setting, where you can remain closely connected to residents, employees, clinical outcomes and daily operations.

For an emerging leader, it could be the opportunity to take ownership of a facility, broaden your management responsibilities and establish yourself as a successful Facility Manager.

Whatever stage of your leadership journey you are at, we are interested in meeting people who understand that exceptional aged care starts with exceptional leadership.

THE ROLE

Taking overall responsibility for the facility’s operational, clinical, financial and workforce performance, you will provide visible and effective leadership while ensuring residents receive safe, high-quality and individualised care.

Working collaboratively with senior management, clinical leaders, employees, residents and families, you will drive operational excellence while building a positive, accountable and supportive workplace culture.
