Village Coordinator | Permanent Full Time | 40 Hours | Mon–Fri + Monthly Open Day | Thames, Coromandel

If you’re someone who likes being at the centre of a well-run village, keeping things organised, residents informed, and operations flowing, this is a role where you can take real ownership.

Based at Bupa Tararu Care Home and Retirement Village in Thames, this permanent full-time position offers a structured Monday to Friday routine (8:30am–5pm), with morning-focused work and one planned Saturday per month supporting open day events. It’s a leadership opportunity suited to someone confident managing relationships, coordinating day-to-day activity, and ensuring the village presents at its best.

You’ll be across everything from resident engagement and communication through to coordinating contractors, supporting occupancy, and maintaining smooth daily operations. This isn’t a sit-back role, you’ll be visible, relied on, and trusted to keep things running properly.

For someone experienced, this offers stability, consistency, and the chance to step into a role where your judgement and organisation directly shape the resident experience.

• Employment Type: Permanent Full Time.
• Hours: 40 hours per week.
