  • The chance to build meaningful relationships with families, GPs, and the wider Oamaru community

  • A hands-on leadership role in a home known for warmth, history, and exceptional resident care

Your Background

  • Registered Nurse or strong clinical background with experience working closely with nursing teams

  • Proven leadership capability within aged care or a similar environment

  • Confident managing both clinical standards and day-to-day operations

  • Relationship-focused, with the ability to engage staff, families, and external stakeholders

Why This Opportunity?
