  • Provide visible, approachable leadership across the residence
  • Oversee documentation, compliance, and communication standards
  • Mentor and guide RNs and PCWs to deliver high-quality care
  • Foster a safe, supportive, and community-focused environment
What We're Looking For
  • Current AHPRA registration as an RN
  • Leadership experience and motivation for continual leadership growth in residential aged care (DDON, Care Manager, Clinical Manager, Clinical Coordinator, or similar senior role)
  • Strong communication and documentation skills
  • Collaborative, proactive approach with full-time availability (Mon–Fri, 8am–4pm)
Why Consider This Role?
  • Supportive DON and stable team with strong tenure
  • Friendly, low-risk home with a great reputation in the community
  • Renovations underway, creating an exciting growth phase
  • Career pathway towards further leadership opportunities
