Description
Our client is a well-established not-for-profit aged care provider with a strong focus on quality resident care, clinical leadership and creating a positive working environment for staff. This 120-bed residential aged care home in Nowra has an established clinical team, a 4-star rating and a strong reputation for its supportive team culture.
