About the role
As Village Manager, you'll be the welcoming face and trusted leader across three Uniting villages, ensuring residents feel safe, supported, and part of a thriving community. You'll play a key role in maintaining the smooth running of village life – from property and facilities oversight, to compliance, financial management, and resident engagement.

This is a hands-on, people-focused role where every day is different. You'll spend time building relationships with residents, supporting staff, liaising with contractors, and ensuring everything from safety to services is delivered to a high standard. Travel between the three villages in your portfolio will be a regular part of your week.

• Leading the operational management of three villages within the Hills District
• Ensuring compliance with legislation, contracts, and Uniting's standards
• Building strong and supportive relationships with residents and their families
• Managing budgets, reporting, and village finances
• Overseeing property and facilities maintenance
• Leading, mentoring, and supporting staff and volunteers
• Driving a welcoming, connected, and safe community environment

About you
You're an experienced people leader with a talent for balancing operational management with genuine care and connection. You'll bring strong organisational skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to navigate challenges with professionalism and empathy. You thrive in a dynamic environment, are confident with compliance and reporting, and most importantly – you're passionate about enhancing the lives of older people.

We're looking for:

• Experience in community/village management, hospitality, property, or related fields
• Strong leadership and relationship-building skills
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Financial and compliance management experience
• Current driver's licence and vehicle to travel between villages (generous mileage reimbursement)
