Our client is seeking an experienced Retirement Village Manager to oversee the operations of a thriving retirement community in a picturesque region of New Zealand’s South Island. This is your chance to embrace a rewarding career that blends professional autonomy with a fulfilling lifestyle.

In this role, which reports to a supportive and constructive board each quarter, you’ll take the reins of a well-established village, managing a dedicated team of 20 staff and catering to the needs of approximately 160 residents. You’ll have the freedom to run the village as if it were your own, making a meaningful impact on the community while enjoying the support of a wider network whenever you need it.

If you are a Village Manager who is looking for a role where you are not constantly filling out reports for regional management and head office, this could be the role for you!

Key Responsibilities:
  • Oversee day-to-day operations, ensuring the highest standards of resident care and satisfaction.
  • Lead, motivate, and support a small, close-knit team of staff.
  • Manage budgets, resources, and compliance with industry regulations.
  • Foster a warm, welcoming environment for residents and their families.
  • Drive community engagement and continuous improvement initiatives.
What We’re Looking For:
  • Proven experience in management, ideally within healthcare, aged care, or a related field.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire and empower a team.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
  • A proactive, hands-on approach and a passion for working with older adults.
  • Financial acumen and an understanding of operational compliance.
  • A self-starter who thrives on independence and doesn’t require hand-holding through decision-making.
Why Join Our Client?
  • Lifestyle: Live and work in a stunning part of New Zealand, surrounded by natural beauty and a relaxed pace of life.
  • Enjoy living in a region where the average price of a house is less that half of what it would be in Auckland
  • Autonomy: Enjoy the trust and independence to shape the village’s future, backed by support when you need it.
  • Impact: Make a real difference in the lives of residents and staff every day.
