This is a rare opportunity to lead a brand-new premium aged care residence in one of Canberra’s fastest-growing communities.
Our Client is seeking an experienced Facility Manager to oversee a beautifully designed medium-sized home featuring modern hotel-style amenities, strong operational backing and an established clinical support structure already in place.
Located in Canberra’s western Molonglo Valley, this newly opened residence offers a theatre, café, wellness gym, hair salon, landscaped outdoor areas and thoughtfully designed living spaces built around a relationship-first model of care.
This is more than a standard Facility Manager role. It is an opportunity to shape culture, build a high-performing team and establish a reputation for excellence within a newly commissioned environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Brand-new premium residence with modern facilities and resources
- Opportunity to influence culture, standards and team engagement from the beginning
- Strong clinical leadership structure and operational support

- Career progression opportunities within a rapidly expanding organisation
- Employee benefits including retail, travel, gym and health insurance discounts

- Occupancy and resident experience
- Financial and operational performance
- AN-ACC optimisation and documentation oversight
- Continuous improvement initiatives
- Resident, family and stakeholder engagement
- Commissioning support and service stabilisation

This is a visible leadership role suited to someone who enjoys building strong teams, driving accountability and creating an exceptional resident experience.
About You
You will bring:
- Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse

- Strong understanding of accreditation, AN-ACC and clinical governance
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams in aged care
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
