The right senior appointment shapes everything that follows.
A Director of Nursing, a Nurse Unit Manager, a clinical lead. These are the roles that set the tone for a facility’s care culture. CHC Search is our dedicated search service for these appointments, conducted with the discretion and rigour they deserve.
Senior nursing and care leadership, across aged care.
CHC Search focuses on the appointments that sit above the ward — the clinical and operational leaders who shape how care is delivered across an entire facility or service.
Directors of Nursing
The most senior clinical appointment in residential aged care. We recruit DONs with the leadership depth and regulatory knowledge these roles demand.
Nurse Unit Managers
NUMs who can run a ward, lead a team and maintain clinical standards under pressure. We match to culture, not just credentials.
Clinical Care Managers
The bridge between direct care and operational management. We find people who can hold both sides without losing either.
Facility & Care Managers
Operational leaders responsible for quality, compliance and staff culture. Roles that carry real weight — and need the right person in them.
Discreet. Rigorous. Genuinely Tasmanian.
Senior appointments are rarely simple. The right process makes the difference between a placement that works and one that doesn’t.
Confidential from the start
Many senior searches need to remain discreet, whether the incumbent is still in post or the vacancy hasn’t been made public. We manage the process with care and communicate only with your authorisation.
Thorough, not fast
We assess candidates on leadership capability, values fit and regulatory understanding — not just whether they hold the right registration. We take the time to understand what success looks like in your specific facility.
A Tasmanian network
We know who is active, who might be open to a conversation, and who has the reputation to match the role. Our market intelligence is built on knowing aged care in Tasmania properly, not scraping job boards.
Register a leadership vacancy.
Tell us about the role, your facility and what you’re looking for in a leader. We’ll follow up within one business day to discuss next steps and whether we’re the right fit for the search.
We work on retained and contingency arrangements depending on the role and search scope. All discussions are strictly confidential.

A different standard of search.
CHC Search exists because senior nursing appointments are too important to leave to a generalist process. If you have a leadership role to fill, or you’re a senior nurse open to what’s next, let’s talk.
