Relieving Clinical Manager: Be at the Heart of Aged Care!

Every day, in every way, we bring real heart to work. It is what drives us to deliver our refreshingly different person-first commitment to care. That is why we are seeking a Roving Clinical Manager for Bupa NZ. You will enrich the lives of our society’s most vulnerable and be part of an inclusive culture where you can make a difference while growing your career. With 40 care homes and 36 retirement villages across Bupa NZ, you can make a true impact.

We are seeking a Clinical Manager that is either based in Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch. 

About You

You will be a good fit for the role if your values and goals align with Bupa as a Clinical Leader:

• Provide person-centred clinical care for residents in our care homes across the country. 
• Ability to go into new environments and effectively lead a team of caregivers and nurses to provide the highest quality clinical care.

• Customer Focus: Anticipate residents’ needs and build a culture of continuous improvement.
• People Focus: Create a positive, motivated, and empowered work environment through a culture of accountability and performance within the team.

• Clinical Quality Focus: Set, monitor, and manage a team to maintain high clinical standards to exceed customer expectations, and invite input from your team.
• Commercial Focus: set ambitious goals and high standards, and pursue this with energy, drive, using innovation and partnership with others.

This is a permanent, full time role working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday with an on-call component. This role is a great way to see different parts of beautiful New Zealand, as you will travel the country for various lengths of time at a particular site ranging from weeks or months at a time, typically returning home late Friday and flying back Sunday evening or Monday morning. You’ll be supporting with covering leave, or times of change, transition, or complex challenges at a care home, so we’re seeking seasoned Clinical Managers with proven aged care experience who can hit the ground running.
