Posted 23/06/2026 Job Number 62255 Work type Permanent - Full Time Posting End Date 31/08/2026

Clinical Manager | Permanent Full Time | Monday-Friday 40 Hours | Christchurch (Spreydon)

This permanent full-time leadership opportunity sits within a well-established 103-bed care home providing Rest Home, Hospital, Psychogeriatric, and Short Stay services, alongside 116 retirement village units on-site.

This opportunity will appeal to an established Clinical Manager seeking a sideways move into a larger organisation with greater resources, stronger leadership support, and the backing of a national provider. It may also suit a leader currently running a smaller aged care facility, or a care home with a dementia unit of around 60 to 70 beds, who is ready to step into a larger and more complex service.
With salary starting from $124,000, you'll be stepping into a service with strong clinical capability already in place. You'll lead within a care home supported by 24/7 RN coverage, an experienced multidisciplinary team, and a recently achieved 4-year certification outcome. Rather than spending your time building foundations, you'll be focused on maintaining high clinical standards, growing team capability, and driving continuous improvement across the service.

You'll work closely with operational leaders, nurses, allied health professionals, and village teams.

At Bupa, your impact reaches beyond the walls of the care home. Through Bupa's Blua app, you'll help support a more connected care experience by enabling residents, whānau, families, friends, and care teams to stay informed and engaged. From care plans and wellbeing updates through to activities and daily routines, your leadership helps strengthen communication, support better health outcomes, and create meaningful connections for those in your care.

If you're looking for a leadership role where strong systems, established clinical support, and meaningful resident impact already exist, this is an opportunity worth considering.

Your Person-First Approach:

  • You will help us make a real difference through your Clinical Leadership experience, personal passion, and empathy.
  • Hold a current APC and NZ Nursing Council Registration
  • Passion for leading a team to mentor and support others
  • Leading continuous quality improvements
  • Excellent clinical skills in adult care and ideal aged care experience
  • Confident communication, interpersonal, and teamwork abilities
  • A compassionate nurse who strives for excellence and to make an impact in residents lives

Extra Reasons to Belong:

  • Fully subsidised Southern Cross health insurance to our eligible permanent NZ employees and a discount on insurance cover for eligible family members.
  • Be part of a strong national and regional support network, including Clinical Managers in the region, regional quality partners, and our national clinical services improvement team to support your success in this role.
  • Wellbeing discounts and advice, EAP counselling services, study support, and cultural leave.
  • Paid parental leave - in addition to standard parental leave, Bupa offers 12 weeks of paid leave for primary carers and 2 weeks for secondary carers.
  • Refer-a-friend programme.
  • Professional Development, in-house and external training and development.
  • Industry-competitive remuneration and benefits, national forums, and internal reward and recognition programmes.
  • Nursing Council-Approved PDRP
  • No matter who you are or where you come from, we encourage you to ‘Be You’ at Bupa.
  • An accredited employer with Immigration NZ that values its diverse employees.
