Description
A well-established residential aged care home in Canberra is seeking a clinically capable and people-focused Care Manager to join its experienced leadership team.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable, fully compliant not-for-profit provider where you'll work alongside a second Care Manager, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional clinical care while being supported by an experienced Facility Manager and leadership team.
If you're a collaborative, resident-focused leader who enjoys mentoring teams and driving quality outcomes, this role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact while continuing to develop your leadership career.
About the Role As one of two Care Managers, you will provide clinical leadership across the home, supporting the delivery of high-quality, resident-centred care.
The role combines clinical governance, mentoring and supporting nursing teams, quality improvement and compliance within a collaborative leadership structure where responsibilities are shared across two Care Managers.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the delivery of high-quality clinical care across the home
- Support and mentor Registered Nurses and care staff
- Drive clinical governance and continuous improvement initiatives
- Monitor resident outcomes and ensure care meets best practice standards
- Partner with the Facility Manager and wider leadership team to maintain compliance
- Build positive relationships with residents, families and allied health professionals
- Support accreditation readiness and quality improvement activities
You are a collaborative, clinically capable and organised leader who enjoys supporting teams to deliver outstanding resident care.
You will also bring:
- Previous experience as a Care Manager, Clinical Manager or senior clinical leader within residential aged care
- Current AHPRA Registered Nurse registration
- Experience leading clinical teams in residential aged care
- Strong understanding of the Strengthened Aged Care Standards
- Confidence supporting clinical governance, audits and quality improvement
- Work alongside a second Care Manager in a shared leadership model
- Supportive Facility Manager and experienced leadership team
- Fully compliant home with strong clinical foundations
- Join a respected not-for-profit aged care provider
- Stable Monday to Friday leadership position
What this looks like in practice:
- A dedicated consultant who works with you on your career, not just this role
- Honest market insight on salary, growth and where the sector is moving
- Discreet, professional handling at every stage—we never share your details without your permission
- Ongoing support after placement because finding the right fit matters long after you start
We are proud that many of the candidates we place return to us years later for their next career move. That is the standard we aim for on every search.
Interested? If you're passionate about delivering exceptional clinical care, enjoy leading and mentoring teams, and want to join a supportive leadership environment, we'd love to hear from you.
