About the role

The Resident Wellbeing and Village Site Supervisor is responsible for the effective day-to-day operations of our beautiful and historic Rushall Park village based in North Fitzroy, the world’s oldest continuously operating retirement village. This unique setting combines heritage architecture, tree-lined streets and a close-knit community atmosphere, right in the heart of Melbourne’s inner north.

This is a role with dual focus. Ensuring the smooth, professional management of village life, while also driving innovative resident wellbeing initiatives. You will lead staff rostering and management, resident support, stakeholder communication, and ensure high standards of service and compliance within budget. Just as importantly, you will provide emotional and social support to residents when they need it, and create engaging, inclusive programs that enrich daily life and nurture community connections.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Village, Home Care or Aged Care Supervisor or Manager with a passion for supporting older Victorians holistically — or for a social worker, pastoral or spiritual care coordinator, chaplain, or community leader who wants to step into operational leadership in a senior living environment.
