Reporting to the Village and Sales Manager, you will have responsibility for assisting with all aspects of the village, including service delivery, finances and staff management. Our residents are always at the heart of what we do so your customer focused, engaging, and resilient manner will ensure you are the go-to person for our residents, their families and our friendly staff.

  • Skilled communicator with the ability to build meaningful relationships with residents, staff and internal/external customers
  • Excellent financial acumen, including sales focus and P&L ownership
