You’re looking for an aged care organisation that shares your passion for enriching the lives of others and making a real difference every day. You have extensive experience in the leadership space, and you have worked in a similar role in aged or health care.

You value autonomy but also the support from capable systems and the resources you need to achieve your aspirations. A genuine priority for you is ensuring a high standard of care and support for our residents, and fostering a collaborative and cohesive team environment where you take our people on a journey with you, leading by example.

Your communication is second to none and you are no stranger to engaging with key stakeholders both inside and outside of the business. You thrive in an environment where no two days are the same, and you have a real knack for managing a range of key priorities throughout the day.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, but more importantly, we are like one big family and treat each of our residents, families, and team members with the same levels of passion, care, and respect.

We are hoping you will join our fantastic Whiddon family at Moree, on a permanent full-time basis.
