Whether you're an experienced Clinical Manager looking for your next challenge or an accomplished Unit Coordinator ready to step into your first Clinical Manager position, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're partnering with a well-established aged care provider in Christchurch to recruit a Clinical Manager for their 144-bed facility. You'll join a collaborative leadership team where you'll be supported by an experienced Facility Manager with over 30 years in aged care and healthcare, alongside another Clinical Manager who works closely with you to ensure exceptional resident care.
About the Role This modern aged care facility provides Rest Home and Hospital level care, including a dedicated 16-bed Younger Person with Disabilities (YPD) service.
As one of two Clinical Managers, you'll oversee either the Hospital or Rest Home service, rotating portfolios every three months. This unique structure allows both leaders to build strong relationships across the entire facility while developing a broad understanding of all aspects of the service.

- Genuine career progression and leadership development
- Supportive and experienced leadership team
- Well-established organisation with strong clinical systems
- Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on residents, families and staff
You'll be a New Zealand Registered Nurse with a current APC and have experience leading clinical teams within aged care.
