Centre Operations Manager
I joined Amana Living in March 1988 within my initial role as a carer. My decision to work for Amana Living was its reputation as an employer who cares about their residents and their employees giving the opportunity for career advancement.
In my first role, I was responsible for the day to day care of our residents and in 1997, I was promoted to the Senior Supervisor role which gave me an opportunity to expand my knowledge of the industry. By 2001, I was offered the position as the Centre Manager of a Dementia Specific Hostel. I very much enjoyed this role, being my first opportunity to manage a team at Amana Living, particularly enjoying the coaching and development side of things.
After a period of 5 years, I was offered a secondment position for 12 Months, managing a Nursing Home in the Southern Suburbs which at times involved managing two facilities simultaneously. This gave me the opportunity once again to enhance my knowledge and experiences shilst upholding our organisational values and developing organisational processes.
In July 2007, I was offered the position as Centre Operations Manager and I am utilising my experience and knowledge to positively influence outcomes at Amana Living.
As you can see from my history, Amana Living’s culture and work environment provides individuals with the opportunity to develop themselves both personally and professionally. The people that you work with provide a great reason to stay with Amana Living. While committed to meeting the goals that are set, we have a great sense of fun and achievement.
