Some leadership roles look good on paper.

Others give you the chance to genuinely shape the experience of hundreds of people, every single day.

This is one of those roles.

We're partnering with a highly regarded, values-led aged care provider to find an experienced Care Services Manager to take full operational ownership of a well-established residential care service. This is your opportunity to step into a role where your influence is visible, your team looks to you for direction, and the standard you set becomes the benchmark.

The Opportunity

As Care Services Manager, you'll be entrusted with end-to-end leadership of a residential care centre, balancing clinical excellence, operational performance, and a people-first culture.

This is a role for someone who doesn't just maintain standards, but elevates them.

You'll lead a multidisciplinary team, drive continuous improvement, and ensure residents receive care that is not only compliant, but genuinely exceptional.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Full operational leadership as Care Services Manager
• Driving and sustaining excellence against aged care quality and accreditation standards
• Creating a high-performing, values-driven team culture
• Leading clinical governance and best-practice care delivery
• Managing budgets, financial performance, and funding optimisation
• Building strong relationships with residents, families, and key stakeholders
• Leading workforce planning, capability development, and staff engagement
• Overseeing occupancy, service growth, and overall performance outcomes
• Partnering across the broader organisation to deliver strategic initiatives
• What Success Looks Like
• A service that consistently exceeds quality and compliance benchmarks
• A stable, engaged, and high-performing team
• Strong occupancy and financial performance
• Positive feedback from residents and families
• A culture where people feel supported, accountable, and proud of the work they do

About You

You're an experienced leader within aged care who knows how to balance compassion with commercial awareness.

You lead from the front, communicate with impact, and know how to bring people with you.

You're confident navigating regulation, accreditation, and funding models, but more importantly, you never lose sight of the people behind the process.

What You Bring

• Proven senior leadership experience within residential aged care
• Strong understanding of aged care standards, compliance, and funding frameworks
• Demonstrated ability to lead, develop, and retain high-performing teams
• Solid financial and operational management capability
• A collaborative, solutions-focused leadership style
• The ability to influence, engage, and build trust at all levels

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't just another management position.

It's an opportunity to:

• Lead with autonomy and real influence
• Shape the culture and direction of a service
• Be part of an organisation that genuinely prioritises quality care
• Make a meaningful impact in a sector that matters
