Clinical Manager | Full Time | Monday–Friday | 40 Hours | Relocate to Whakatane

If you're an experienced aged care leader in Tauranga or surrounding areas and ready for a role where you can step into full clinical ownership, this is worth considering.

This Clinical Manager position at Bupa Mary Shapley Care Home in Whakatane offers a structured Monday to Friday roster, overseeing a 78-bed facility providing both rest home and hospital level care. It's a well-established home with a strong foundation and a 3-year certification secured through to June 2027, giving you stability and a clear clinical environment to lead within.

This role suits someone who knows how to run a floor, lead a team, and hold high standards across care delivery, documentation, and compliance. You’ll be responsible for clinical performance, developing your nursing team, and maintaining consistency across care practices.

If you’re currently in Tauranga and open to relocating for the right leadership role, this is a genuine step into a position where your experience will be used properly without the unpredictability of shift work.

Alongside this, you’ll benefit from subsidised health insurance and the structure of a weekday roster that lets you focus on leading rather than constantly covering.

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.
