Working in a regional community might not be everyone's first choice, but for the right person, it can offer something truly unique and rewarding.

• Stronger connections.
• A slower pace of life.
• A real sense of community.
• The chance to make a genuine impact where leadership really matters.

We are partnering with a highly respected aged care provider to identify experienced Residential Managers open to regional Western Australia. These opportunities are ideal for leaders who are ready to step away from the city and into a role where they can truly influence culture, care and community.

For the right person, this isn't just a job - it's a lifestyle shift.

The Opportunity

As Residential Manager, you will lead the operations of a residential aged care community, ensuring the delivery of safe, high-quality care while supporting a positive and engaged workplace culture.

Working closely with senior leadership and corporate support teams, you will drive performance across:

• Clinical governance and care quality
• Workforce leadership and team development
• Financial and operational performance
• Compliance with Aged Care Quality Standards and regulatory requirements
• Resident, family and community engagement
• Continuous improvement and service excellence

This role requires a visible, people-focused leader who can balance clinical oversight with strong operational capability.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking experienced Residential Managers or senior aged care leaders who bring a balance of clinical understanding, operational leadership and strategic thinking.

You will ideally bring:

• Experience managing residential aged care services
• Strong leadership and people management capability
• Financial and operational management experience
• Sound knowledge of Aged Care Quality Standards and sector regulations
• Experience leading accreditation and quality improvement outcomes
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• The ability to lead teams through change and growth

Why Consider Regional?

Regional leadership offers something different.

You'll often find stronger relationships with staff, residents and families, greater visibility as a leader, and the ability to truly shape the culture of a service.

If you're open to something different, this could be the opportunity that changes your career and lifestyle.

A Note From Aoife:

I specialise in aged care recruitment across WA and nationally, partnering closely with providers and clinical leaders.

Candidates who've worked in regional locations often describe it as a truly different, but highly rewarding experience. Many leaders who take the leap say it helps them reconnect with why they chose a career in aged care in the first place.

You get to see the direct impact of your leadership, build really close-knit teams, and make a visible difference in the community. If you're curious about what regional leadership could offer, it's worth having a confidential conversation. I can help you explore which locations might suit you best and what to expect.

I look forward to speaking with you!
