Are you ready to lead a service where you can actually know your residents, your staff - and make a real impact? Latitude Recruitment is partnering with Rural Northwest Health to recruit a Nurse Unit Manager for Yarriambiack Lodge, a 60-bed residential aged care facility in Warracknabeal. This is the sweet spot of aged care leadership. Large enough to lead meaningfully. Small enough to lead well. Why a 60-Bed Facility Changes Everything In a 60-bed service, you: ✔ Know your residents and families personally ✔ Have visibility across the entire service ✔ Can influence culture directly ✔ Lead a team without layers of bureaucracy ✔ Focus on quality - not just constant crisis management This is not a 120 bed metro facility where you are managing chaos. This is leadership with presence, autonomy and support. What You Will Be Leading • Clinical and operational performance • Compliance with Aged Care Quality & Safety Standards • A committed multidisciplinary team • Workforce planning and rostering • Continuous quality improvement You will report into a supportive executive team who value strong leadership - not micromanagement. The Lifestyle Shift Warracknabeal offers: • Affordable housing • 5-minute commute • Strong community connection • Genuine work-life balance • 40 minute drive from Horsham • Relocation and accommodation support available Located between Melbourne and Adelaide, this is a lifestyle move without sacrificing your leadership career. Who This Role Would Suit • An experienced aged care NUM seeking a more manageable service • A metro NUM feeling stretched in a large facility • A confident ANUM ready to step into a supported leadership role • A clinician who values culture, accountability and resident-centred care If you are currently leading in a large facility and feeling like you are constantly firefighting - this could be your opportunity to lead in a setting where your leadership actually sticks.
