You’ll report to the Regional Manager and lead the on-site administration, housekeeping, grounds and maintenance team. You’ll be responsible for occupancy, guest and resident experience, compliance and financial performance. Your responsibilities will include:

• Running a profitable motel operation with a target of 70% occupancy or higher, and keeping rooms, buildings and grounds to a high standard
• Managing reception, reservations and guest records in Guest Point
• Supporting the site’s transition from motel to rental retirement village, including executing leases, condition reports and the full tenant lifecycle
• Owning the roster and matching staffing hours to occupancy and trading patterns

What’s it like working for Eureka?  Our site managers are the heart of our communities. In this role you’ll balance the pace of a working motel with the care of building a long-term residential community. One day you might be reviewing rosters and budgets.
