    About Ryman

    At Ryman, we believe the measure of a full life is one that gets richer with age. Ryman Healthcare is a leader in retirement living and aged care. Our driving purpose is to enhance freedom, connection and well‑being for people as we grow older. We own and operate 49 villages in New Zealand and Australia and employ approximately 7,700 team members across a range of sectors. We are proud to have received the Wellbeing Tick – the first healthcare company to do so.

    Benefits Of Working At a Ryman Village

  • Fun, friendly and supportive team environment
  • Certainty of hours through fixed rosters
  • Work in a beautiful, resort‑style village
  • Opportunities for professional development and career progression
  • Ryman Team Benefits Card with discounts from a range of suppliers and retailers
  • We'd also love you to have experience working in aged care, but that is not essential.

    At Ryman, we support an environment where everyone feels welcome to be themselves. We embrace diversity and celebrate individual uniqueness, encouraging anyone wanting to work for Ryman to apply for our vacant positions.

    If you are interested in joining an organisation with a clear purpose and a commitment to innovation, kindness and excellence, we would love to hear from you!

    Applications will be reviewed as they are received and interviews may take place prior to the close date. This means a job ad may close before the advertised close date.
