Lead with purpose. Make your mark. Discover a lifestyle worth moving for.

Are you a compassionate and capable leader with a strong background in aged care, exceptional organisational skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred care?

Imagine combining a rewarding leadership career with the opportunity to live and work on Tasmania's stunning North West Coast, where beautiful beaches, breath-taking scenery and a relaxed coastal lifestyle are all part of everyday life.

At Southern Cross Care, we're looking for an inspiring Facility Manager to lead our Yaraandoo residential aged care home in Burnie, Tasmania.

This is more than just a leadership opportunity. It's your chance to make a genuine difference in the lives of residents and employees, while enjoying everything this spectacular part of Tasmania has to offer.

The Opportunity

As Facility Manager, you'll be right at the heart of your home, leading your team, getting to know your residents and families, celebrating the wins, tackling the challenges and creating a place where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

You'll lead a large and diverse team, bringing energy, positivity and a strong sense of purpose to the way you lead. We're looking for someone who can bring people together, build a great culture and empower their team to deliver an exceptional experience for our residents.

Of course, there's an important operational side too. You'll have ownership of the overall performance of your facility, from budgets and occupancy through to workforce, compliance and continuous improvement. You'll be comfortable making decisions, solving problems and keeping plenty of moving pieces heading in the right direction.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to make your mark. Bring your ideas, challenge the way we've always done things, celebrate your people and help us continue creating a home where residents, families and employees feel valued and connected.

If you've ever dreamed of swapping the hustle and bustle for fresh coastal air, spectacular natural scenery and a lifestyle that gives you more time to enjoy the things that matter, this might just be your sign.

Our Yaraandoo residential aged care home is located in Burnie, a vibrant coastal city nestled along Tasmania's picturesque North West Coast.

And if food, wine and local experiences are more your style, you'll find boutique distilleries, farmers' markets, exceptional local produce and welcoming coastal cafés scattered throughout the region.

Burnie also offers the practical benefits of regional living, with schools, healthcare, shopping and community facilities close by, and Devonport Airport within easy reach for interstate connections.
