Relief Facility Manager (Roving NSW) | Residential Aged Care
Lead Across NSW. Strengthen Services. Make a Lasting Impact.
A unique leadership opportunity combining senior aged care management with travel, variety and meaningful work across New South Wales.
Not all Facility Manager roles are the same.
Some involve leading one home.
This one gives you the opportunity to lead across multiple Residential Aged Care services, providing stability, guidance and support wherever it's needed most.
UPA is seeking an experienced Relief Facility Manager to join our Corporate Operations team in a full-time roving leadership position supporting our network of 17 Residential Aged Care Homes across NSW.
From metropolitan Sydney to welcoming regional and rural communities, you'll step into services during periods of leave, vacancies, operational change and improvement initiatives, ensuring residents continue to receive exceptional care while supporting teams through times of transition.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced aged care leader who enjoys variety, thrives in new environments and wants to make a meaningful impact across an entire organisation.
Why This Role Stands Out
At UPA, we recognise the value experienced leaders bring to aged care and we're committed to supporting you every step of the way.
You'll be supported by:
- A highly experienced Regional Operations leadership team
- Dedicated Clinical Governance, Quality and Corporate Shared Services support
- A values-driven not-for-profit organisation focused on people first
- The opportunity to lead across diverse metropolitan, regional and rural communities
- Genuine variety, with every assignment bringing new challenges and opportunities
- The chance to strengthen services and support teams where your leadership is needed most
What's On Offer
- Attractive remuneration package
- Salary packaging benefits of up to $15,900 tax free
- Additional Meal & Entertainment salary packaging benefits
- Fully maintained vehicle or pool vehicle for approved work-related travel
- Accommodation provided when working away from home
- Reimbursement of approved travel expenses
- Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities
- Collaborative and supportive leadership environment
- Opportunity to influence service improvement across multiple homes
- The chance to work for one of NSW's leading not-for-profit aged care providers
The Opportunity
As Relief Facility Manager, you'll provide operational and clinical leadership across UPA's Residential Aged Care services throughout NSW.
Working closely with Regional Operations, you'll step into services requiring experienced leadership while ensuring continuity of care, operational stability and positive outcomes for residents and employees.
You will:
- Provide confident leadership during periods of leave, vacancies and organisational change
- Support and mentor multidisciplinary teams to deliver exceptional resident-centred care
- Maintain compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards and legislative requirements

- Oversee operational performance, occupancy, budgets and workforce management
- Build trusted relationships with residents, families, employees and key stakeholders
- Foster positive workplace cultures focused on accountability, collaboration and excellence
- Provide stability and direction while strengthening services across the UPA network
Every assignment presents a new opportunity to make a genuine difference while experiencing some of New South Wales' most diverse and welcoming communities.
About You
You're an experienced Residential Aged Care leader who can quickly build trust, adapt to new environments and confidently lead teams through change.
You'll bring:
- Current Registered Nurse registration with AHPRA
- Significant leadership experience as a Facility Manager, Clinical Care Manager, Regional Manager or similar senior aged care leadership role
