Job description

CARE MANAGER | NORTH WEST NSW | NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGED CARE

A well-established not-for-profit aged care provider based in the North West region of NSW (around 6 hours from Sydney, roughly 3.5 hours from Brisbane) is seeking a Clinical Manager to join their close-knit residential care community.

This provider takes real pride in building genuine, relationship-based care around each resident's individual interests and needs — this is a role where the connections you build with residents and families are at the heart of the job, not just a KPI on a page.

What's On Offer

• $128,000+/hour + super, with NFP salary packaging options
• Relocation support available, including free accommodation
• Permanent full-time position, Monday to Friday.
• Generous Annual Leave benefits.
• Novated leasing, a financial wellness program, and a rewards program through partner retailers.
• Strong learning and development pathways, including scholarship programs, leadership development, and traineeships.
• Regular recognition programs, including milestone celebrations, everyday hero shout-outs, and an annual awards night.

The Opportunity / Main Duties

• Report to the Facility Manager, bringing strong clinical experience to manage and drive clinical services across a 60+ bed home, including a dedicated memory support unit.
• Ensure compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards, infection control requirements, and AN-ACC funding processes.
• Provide crucial support to the Residential Manager through strong leadership, people management, and business acumen, helping to meet financial and budgetary goals.
• Foster a culture of service-based learning and development, safety, continuous improvement, and teamwork across the clinical team.

What We're Looking For

• A relevant nursing degree or tertiary qualification, with current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse.
• Experience as a Senior RN or Clinical Coordinator looking to step up, or prior experience in a deputy-level role seeking a new environment.
• Aged care industry experience is preferred, ideally in a senior clinical and supervisory/management capacity.
• Intermediate proficiency with care management software (such as AutumnCare or similar) and the Microsoft Office suite.
• A current First Aid Certificate and NDIS Worker Check (or willingness to obtain one).
