Love creating vibrant resident communities? Ready to step up into village leadership?

We are seeking a warm, people-focused Retirement Village Manager to lead a boutique seniors retirement community in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. With fewer than 50 modern homes, this is a unique opportunity to make a genuine difference every day while building on your experience as a Lifestyle Coordinator, Activities Coordinator, Resident Engagement Coordinator or similar retirement living professional.

If you're passionate about resident wellbeing, thrive on building relationships, and are ready to broaden your skills into village operations, budgeting, staff leadership and community management, we'd love to hear from you.

Why This Role?

This is more than a management position, it's an opportunity to become the heart of a close-knit community where residents know your name and value the difference you make.

You'll enjoy:

A welcoming boutique village with a strong sense of community
The opportunity to step into leadership from a lifestyle or resident engagement background
Autonomy and variety in your day-to-day work
Building meaningful relationships with residents and families
A role where no two days are the same

About the Role

As Village Manager, you will be responsible for creating a happy, welcoming, safe and thriving community while overseeing the village's day-to-day operations.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Building strong relationships with residents and their families
Delivering exceptional resident experiences and promoting independent living
Planning engaging social, wellness and community initiatives
Supervising and mentoring village staff
Managing contractors and service providers
Monitoring village budgets and financial performance
Ensuring compliance with policies, procedures and legislative requirements
Supporting the sales team by showcasing the village lifestyle and fostering a positive community reputation
Maintaining a safe, well-presented and welcoming village environment

About You
You may currently be working as a:

Lifestyle Coordinator
Activities Coordinator
Resident Engagement Coordinator
Community Coordinator
Retirement Living Coordinator
Assistant Village Manager

And you are looking for the next step in your career.

You'll bring:

Experience working within retirement living, aged care or seniors' communities
Outstanding relationship-building and communication skills
A genuine passion for enhancing the lives of older Australians
Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities
Confidence managing multiple priorities
Basic budgeting and administration skills (or an eagerness to develop them)
A positive, hands-on attitude and a willingness to lead by example

Join Us

If you're ready to move beyond coordinating activities and into a rewarding leadership role where you can shape the culture and success of an entire community, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and help create a community where residents truly love to live.
