Full-time | 40 hours per week | Regular travel across New Zealand

One role. Different care homes. A real opportunity to make an impact.

Do you thrive on variety, enjoy travelling, and love stepping into situations where your leadership can make a real difference?

Radius Care is looking for an experienced Roving Care Home & Clinical Manager to join our team. This is a unique dual leadership role for an experienced Registered Nurse who can confidently provide both operational and clinical leadership across our care homes.

This isn’t your typical management role. You’ll travel across our network of care homes, stepping in where you’re needed most. One assignment may see you leading a care home through a management transition, while another may involve providing clinical leadership, preparing for an audit, supporting a new manager, or helping a home improve its overall performance.

You’ll bring stability, experience and practical leadership to each care home, while ensuring our residents continue to receive safe, high-quality care.

Hours of work: Full-time, 40 hours per week.

Location: Our Support Office is based in Auckland; however, this is a highly mobile role involving regular travel to Radius Care homes across New Zealand.

What you'll be doing

Your assignments will vary depending on the needs of each care home and may include:

• Roving Management Coverage: Step into Care Home Manager and Clinical Nurse Manager responsibilities during vacancies, leave or periods of transition, providing continuity and strong leadership.

• Lead Transitions: Support homes through leadership changes, ensuring effective handovers and stability across both clinical and operational functions.

• Clinical Leadership: Support clinical teams to maintain high standards of resident care, clinical practice, documentation and clinical governance.

• Coach and Mentor: Support Care Home Managers, Clinical Nurse Managers and other members of the leadership team to build capability and confidence.

• Drive Performance: Work with homes to improve operational performance across workforce, occupancy, financial management, quality, resident experience and other key areas.

• Audit and Compliance: Support audit preparation, internal audits, corrective actions and ongoing compliance with aged care requirements and organisational standards.

• Quality Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve clinical outcomes, resident experience, systems, processes and ways of working.

• Workforce Leadership: Support effective staffing and roster management, helping homes maintain the right workforce to deliver safe and sustainable care.

• Problem Solving: Step into challenging situations, quickly understand what is happening, establish priorities and work with the team to put practical solutions in place.

• Projects and Continuous Improvement: When not providing direct on-site management coverage, lead projects and initiatives that strengthen clinical quality, operational performance and consistency across our care homes.

What we're looking for

This role needs someone who is comfortable moving between clinical and operational leadership and can quickly establish credibility with different teams.

You'll bring:

• Current New Zealand registration as a Registered Nurse and a current Annual Practising Certificate.

• Strong aged care experience.

• Previous experience in a Care Home Manager, Facility Manager, Clinical Nurse Manager or another senior aged care leadership position.

• Strong clinical knowledge and confidence overseeing clinical quality and standards.

• Proven people leadership and staff management experience.

• Experience managing staffing levels and rosters.

• A good understanding of aged care audits, compliance and quality requirements.

• Commercial and operational awareness, with the ability to understand and improve care home performance.

• Strong communication, coaching and relationship-building skills.

• The ability to quickly assess a situation, establish priorities and deliver results.

• Confidence working independently and adapting to different teams, homes and situations.

• A genuine willingness and ability to travel regularly throughout New Zealand.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys change. You aren't fazed by walking into an unfamiliar care home, getting to know the team quickly and working out where your experience can make the biggest difference.

Why join us?

• Variety: No two assignments will be the same. Work across different care homes, teams and situations.

• Broaden your leadership experience: Develop your expertise across both clinical and operational management.

• Make an impact: Support homes when experienced leadership is needed most.

• Professional growth: Gain exposure to different challenges, projects and areas of the business.

• Supportive culture: Work alongside a collaborative team committed to quality care and continuous improvement.

• Competitive remuneration.

• Access to discounts and benefits through our Staff App.

• Employee Assistance Programme.

• Most importantly, the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for our residents, their families and our people.
