Job Title: Care Home Manager
Location: Dunedin
Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday (with some on-call)
Salary: $110K

We’re looking for a dedicated Care Home Manager to lead a warm and well-established facility in beautiful Dunedin.

This position is perfect for someone with a genuine passion for resident care, someone who believes in making every day better for the elderly.

You will be the heart of this home, inspiring a compassionate and motivated team to deliver the highest level of care, not just for the sake of work, but because you believe it's your purpose.

Why This Role?
Lead with Purpose: This isn’t just another aged care job—it’s an opportunity to create meaningful change, provide outstanding care, and lead by example. You’ll be working in a close-knit, homely environment where the focus is on kindness, respect, and ensuring every resident feels valued.

Exceptional Support: You won’t be doing it alone. With a strong Clinical Team Lead, registered nurses, HCAs, and an engaged administration team backing you, you’ll have all the support you need to focus on what matters most—making a difference in residents' lives.


A Culture of Care: This aged care home is committed to fostering a positive workplace culture where staff are empowered and residents feel right at home. The management team believes in rolling up their sleeves and working together, always putting residents first.

About You:

• You’re a compassionate leader with strong communication skills and the ability to foster a caring, inclusive environment.
• You have experience managing an aged care team and hold a current APC.
• You’re deeply passionate about making a difference in people’s lives and are committed to ongoing professional development—both for yourself and your team.

Why Dunedin? If you’re looking to relocate, Dunedin offers a stunning coastal setting with a relaxed lifestyle. Affordable living, beautiful scenery, and a close-knit community make it the perfect place to settle. Plus, with relocation support and an incredibly supportive work environment, making the move has never been easier!

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive Salary: $110K for someone who brings the passion and expertise needed for this role.
• Career Growth: Nearly all operations roles are promoted from within, and you’ll have access to a career development program to help you grow.
• Supportive Environment: This organisation prides itself on its positive culture and providing professional and emotional support to all staff.

This is your opportunity to step into a role that’s not just about managing—it's about leading with heart and creating an environment where both staff and residents thrive.
