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.
