This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys variety. You’ll oversee the day-to-day operation of the village, build strong relationships with residents and ensure the community remains safe, welcoming and well managed.

Our values guide how we work every day. We Put People First, Embrace the Challenge, Commit and Follow-Up, Act with Purpose and Build Belonging.

What’s the role?

As Village Manager, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the village and be a visible, approachable presence for our residents.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Building positive relationships with residents and creating a welcoming, connected village community
• Coordinating day-to-day village operations, administration and resident enquiries
• Managing tenancies, including applications, agreements, renewals, entry and exit processes and associated documentation
• Supporting occupancy and helping prospective residents through the enquiry and application process

What’s it like working for Eureka?

No two days as a Village Manager are quite the same. You might start your morning catching up with residents, spend part of the day coordinating maintenance or working through tenancy administration, and finish by helping a prospective resident understand whether the village could be the right home for them.

You’ll have autonomy over the day-to-day operation of the village while still having the support of your Regional Manager and colleagues across Eureka.

Most importantly, you’ll become an important part of the community and help create an environment where residents feel respected, connected and at home.

We’d Love To Hear From You If You

• Have experience in village, property, accommodation, community, hospitality or a similarly hands-on operational environment
• Are confident managing administration, competing priorities and day-to-day operational issues
• Have strong communication skills and enjoy building relationships with people from a variety of backgrounds
• Are comfortable working autonomously while knowing when to seek support
• Bring a practical, solutions-focused approach and are willing to get involved wherever needed
• Have good computer skills and confidence learning systems and maintaining accurate records
• Understand the importance of safety, compliance, confidentiality and treating residents with respect
