Aged Care Manager

Aged Care Managers oversee the daily operations and management of aged care facilities, nursing homes, and residential care centres. They manage finances, human resources, customer service, maintenance, food service, and workplace safety — plus ensure the organisation complies with the law and industry standards.

As an Aged Care Manager you may be answering to a Board of Directors or even a government department (if it’s a community service organisation) — and you’ll be working closing with team leaders as well as departmental supervisors.
