Bupa Villages

Shaping the future of independent living

Bupa’s purpose of helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives is what guides every moment of care in our Villages, and something you’ll see, feel, and shape every day. Bupa NZ has 35 retirement villages across New Zealand, with different options to support independent living.

No matter your role, you’ll make a meaningful impact through our person-first approach; and you won’t do it alone. We’re a close-knit, supportive team that looks out for each other, even on the busiest days.

We’re equally committed to your growth. Across our Villages and the wider Bupa network, you’ll find the support, tools, and pathways to build the career you want — from developing new skills to stepping into leadership or exploring different roles across healthcare.

Retirement villages are full of people with stories, lessons, and wisdom; working here has given me a different perspective on life, and encouraged me to not take anything for granted.

Village Coordinator

As a Village Coordinator, you'll play a key role in creating a vibrant, welcoming community where residents feel supported, connected and able to live well. Combining operations, customer service, community engagement and sales, you'll oversee the day-to-day running of the village, lead resident events and wellbeing initiatives, build relationships with residents and families, and guide prospective residents through their retirement living journey. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys leading from the front, making a meaningful difference, and helping create a place people are proud to call home.

It takes a diverse team to create a thriving village community. Beyond resident support and village operations, opportunities are also available across hospitality, wellbeing and maintenance. Whether you're preparing fresh meals as a Café Cook, creating welcoming experiences as a Barista Café Assistant or Café Manager, or helping keep our villages safe, comfortable and well-maintained as a Maintenance Officer, every role plays an important part in enhancing the everyday lives of our residents.
