At Bupa, purpose meets possible.

Join us and help shape a future where healthcare is more connected, innovative, and deeply personal.

We’re a global healthcare leader trusted by millions and committed to helping people to live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. Healthcare is evolving, and so are we. By investing in advanced health technologies, better systems, and exciting pipelines of modern care products, we are empowering our residents to live with greater independence and dignity.

In this role you’ll bring confidence across care planning, interRAI and audits, but just as important is your ability to lead. You’ll mentor RNs and Caregivers, step into clinical situations when needed, and maintain strong relationships with visiting health professionals creating a more connected ecosystem that delivers exceptional support to our communities.

Here, your work has purpose, your voice matters and your future is full of possibility.

Just imagine the impact you could make.

Hours & Roster Details:

• Employment Type: Permanent Full-Time
• Hours: Average 40 hours/week
• Shift Time: 8am – 4pm

The purpose of this job

This permanent full-time leadership opportunity sits within a well-established 103-bed care home providing Rest Home, Hospital, Psychogeriatric, and Short Stay services, alongside 116 retirement village units on-site.

This opportunity will appeal to an established Clinical Manager seeking a sideways move into a larger organisation with greater resources, stronger leadership support, and the backing of a national provider. It may also suit a leader currently running a smaller aged care facility, or a care home with a dementia unit of around 60 to 70 beds, who is ready to step into a larger and more complex service.

As a Clinical Manager, you’ll work alongside a supportive team to:

• Provide person-centred clinical care for residents
• Lead a team of caregivers and nurses to provide the highest quality clinical care
• Conduct medication rounds, manage care plans, lead in-service education sessions for staff, and maintain accurate paperwork
• Be part of 3-year audit certifications where you can continue the success of the team with providing the best care
• Stand up and tell us where we can invest more to ensure continuous quality improvement

What you’ll need to make it possible

• Proven 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 with confident communication
• Leading continuous quality improvements
• Excellent clinical skills in adult care and ideal aged care experience
• A compassionate nurse who strives for excellence and to make an impact on residents’ lives
• Hold legal entitlement to work in New Zealand

Why you’ll love it?

• Plan your life ahead outside of work with fixed rolling rosters
• Access to Bupa Campus – your go-to space for global learning and development
• Be part of a strong national and regional support network of Clinical Managers, regional quality partners, and our national clinical services improvement team
• National forums, and internal reward and recognition programmes
• Nursing Council-Approved PDRP
• Access to Viva, Bupa's global employee wellbeing programme
• Southern Cross health insurance membership with monthly premiums fully paid for eligible employees
• Enhanced parental leave - 12 or 24 weeks of paid gender-neutral parental leave for eligible employees
• Complimentary uniforms provided to look your best at work.
• Access to a wide range of employee benefits and discounts across retail, technology and more. Employee Assistance Programme when you need it most
• Regularly offered free flu vaccinations, free skin checks and initial menopause consultation
• Refer a Friend Programme

If this sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s shape the future of healthcare, together.
