Village Manager | Te Puna Waiora

Company Description

At Arvida, we create communities with freedom to thrive. We develop and operate communities that provide independent living and aged care services to older New Zealanders – with a resident‑led approach. Each day, our interactions with our team and residents are guided by three values : Being There | In it Together | Look for a Way. We have a network of 34 communities throughout the country – each with unique environments that support our residents to live life their way.

About the opportunity

Our Te Puna Waiora community is a living and breathing example of Arvida’s resident‑led approach and Attitude of Living Well ethos. Located in the heart of sunny Kerikeri, Te Puna Waiora boasts modern living options that enable our residents to live life their way. On offer are one‑, two‑, and three‑bedroom villas; resident‑led initiatives including a workshop and water activities; and the stunning Te Ripo Wai Clubhouse with a bar, café, and indoor and outdoor entertainment areas.

As Village Manager you will oversee all day‑to‑day operations including team leadership, resident satisfaction, sales, landscape and property maintenance, and overall financial performance. You will also work closely with our on‑site construction team, as development of additional villas continue. A Care Centre is in planning stages, for residents that need rest home or hospital‑level care but for now the community, and this role, is focused on independent living.

This is a unique opportunity, suitable for someone passionate about building great communities, where you will be supported by a great team and surrounded by an exceptional group of residents and their whanau.
