You will also be working closely with the Retirement Living Management team to promote the retirement living lifestyle, facilitating timely unit vacancy turnovers and refurbishments.

You will pride yourself on customer service and promoting the safety, security, optimal health and wellbeing of residents. Hence, you will develop strategies to address identified needs of our residents and ensure their rights are always maintained.

Due to your exceptional negotiation, communication and interpersonal skills you easily engage with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Well-developed prioritisation, leadership and problem-solving skills are some of your strengths. As a self-starter you can take ownership of multiple tasks without being micro-managed.

You will have the demonstrated ability to identify stakeholder requirements, alter services in response to identified needs, and evaluate satisfaction.


Ideally you will have:

  • Solid experience at a site operational level within a customer driven environment, ideally within the retirement living, business, hospitality, finance, property management, health or related sectors;
  • Qualifications in management or equivalent;
  • Experience in sales, marketing and/or communications is a benefit, however, not essential;
