Have you ever walked into a workplace and loved the down to earth friendly atmosphere? Well, you can expect that at this organisation!

This isn't a giant corporate machine. This is a community-minded not-for-profit with small homes, real relationships, and a team that genuinely backs each other. Our valued client is looking for a Clinical Nurse Manager who wants more than just a title, someone who wants influence, connection, and the chance to truly shape how care is delivered.

What makes this role different

You'll actually know everyone

• The homes are small by design. That means closer teams, stronger culture, and more meaningful connections with residents and families. You won't be a name on an email chain, you'll be a visible, valued leader with strong onsite support and a head office team nearby who knows your name.

A team that shows up for each other

• This is a workplace where people help, not compete. Diverse, inclusive, welcoming, and full of people who care deeply about what they do and who they do it with.

Your growth is taken seriously

• Development isn't just talk here. Internal progression is encouraged, and strong leaders are supported to step into bigger responsibilities over time.

More money in your pocket

• As a not-for-profit, salary packaging means you keep more of what you earn. Same effort, better outcome.

A voice that matters

• Different perspectives are valued and leaders are empowered to make real decisions. Your experience and ideas won't sit in a drawer.

What you'll actually be doing

As part of the senior leadership team, you'll be the clinical heartbeat of your home:

• Leading clinical operations and setting the standard for care
• Supporting, mentoring and empowering your clinical and care team
• Driving audits, gap analysis and continuous improvement initiatives
• Leading quality projects and ensuring standards are not just met, but exceeded
• Building strong relationships with families, the community and external stakeholders
• Overseeing feedback and complaints with professionalism and empathy
• Working closely with the wider quality team to lift clinical performance across multiple homes

You'll fit right in if you:

• Are a Registered Nurse with AHPRA registration
• Have solid experience in residential aged care in a Clinical Nurse or Clinical Manager role
• Genuinely enjoy change, improvement and making things better than you found them
• Communicate with confidence, warmth and clarity
• Can lead independently but love being part of a team
• Care about improving services for older people at a bigger-picture level
