Job description

Assistant Village Manager | Retirement Living

As Assistant Village Manager at Levande North Lakes, you will play an important role in supporting the day-to-day operations of the village while helping create a welcoming, connected and positive experience for our residents.

Working closely with the Village Manager, you will have the opportunity to build your experience across village operations, resident engagement, financial management and team leadership, while becoming a trusted and visible part of the North Lakes community.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build strong and trusted relationships with residents, families and team members.
• Develop your experience across village operations, financial management and team leadership.
• Support a welcoming, connected and engaging village community.
• Contribute ideas and improvements that enhance the resident experience.
• Step up and provide leadership and support when the Village Manager is away.

Why You Will Like Working Here

At Levande, you will be part of a team that genuinely cares about creating communities where older Australians can live well every day.

This role gives you the opportunity to combine people, operations and leadership. You will work closely with the Village Manager while having the scope to take ownership, solve problems and make a meaningful contribution to the everyday experience of our residents.

You will also have access to Levande benefits, including:

• Opportunities to learn, grow and build your career within Levande.
• 24/7 wellbeing support through Sonder, your Everyday Wellbeing Companion, for you and your family.
• A supportive team environment where your ideas and contribution are valued.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to residents and their community.

What You Will Be Working On

No two days in village life are quite the same. You will support the Village Manager with the day-to-day running of North Lakes, balancing resident needs with the operational, administrative and financial requirements of the village.

Your work will include:

• Supporting a positive and responsive experience for residents and their families.
• Assisting with day-to-day village operations, administration, budgets and financial reporting.
• Building effective relationships with residents, resident committees, team members, families, contractors and internal stakeholders.
• Supporting village events, community activities and local sales and marketing initiatives.
• Helping coordinate contractors, maintenance activities and unit turnover.
• Providing guidance and support to the village team and stepping up when the Village Manager is away.
• Contributing to safety, compliance, risk management and continuous improvement across the village.

What Type of Person Will Be Successful

You will enjoy being visible and approachable within the village and taking the time to build genuine relationships with residents and colleagues.

You will be organised, practical and comfortable juggling different priorities. Just as importantly, you will understand that great village operations are about more than processes – they are about creating an environment where residents feel supported, connected and at home.

You are likely to bring:

• A strong resident or customer service focus.
• The ability to build trusted relationships with a wide range of people.
• Sound commercial and financial understanding.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• An organised and practical approach to problem solving and managing competing priorities.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office programs and learning new systems.
• The confidence to support and guide team members when required.
• A collaborative approach and willingness to step in and help where needed.

Experience in retirement living, property, facilities, asset management, hospitality or another service-focused environment would be valuable. Experience supporting or leading a team would also be beneficial.

At Levande, our people create communities where older Australians can live well every day. We know the best communities are built by teams with diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds. That’s why we’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued and empowered to thrive. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and lived experiences.
