About the role

We have an exciting career opportunity for an Assistant Village Manager to join our dedicated team at Dannemora Gardens in Botany, East Tamaki. Reporting to the Village Manager, you will have responsibility in assisting with all aspects of the village, including strategic planning, service delivery, finances and staff management. In addition to this, you will also be responsible for running the Wellness Centre to inform residents of the local availability, and process to access, home-based support services.

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