• Attending resident committee meetings, represent organisational values, and foster open communication

• Be the vital conduit between head office strategy and frontline delivery

• A strong background in multi-site leadership within retirement living, aged care, health, hospitality, or community services
• Proven ability to manage operational budgets, drive performance, and foster a culture of care
• Excellent interpersonal skills and experience building trust with residents, teams, and external partners
