Facility Manager – Yaraandoo | Burnie, Tasmania

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 prospect to live and work on Tasmania's stunning North West Coast,
where beautiful beaches, breathtaking 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 will 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.

And because we know a role of this size
deserves to be recognised, Southern Cross Care is offering a competitive
remuneration package for the right person.

If you're a people-first leader who loves a
challenge, enjoys variety and wants a role where no two days are quite the
same, we'd love to hear from you.
