Roster Coordinator

At Oceania Healthcare, we’re passionate about making the difference - in every task, every challenge, every day.

We’re proud to create care experiences that truly transform lives, and we’re looking for a superstar Roster Coordinator to help us do just that.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love bringing structure to complexity, and take pride in supporting teams who make a real impact on residents’ lives - we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

As a Roster Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our Care Homes across the Christchurch and Nelson regions are appropriately staffed to deliver the highest quality of care.

You’ll manage end-to-end rostering for multiple sites - balancing workforce needs, compliance, and budget considerations while supporting managers to deliver seamless service. Working closely with General Managers, Clinical Managers, and our broader operations team, you’ll help maintain continuity of care and a great working experience for our staff.

What you'll be doing

• Coordinating and maintaining rosters across multiple Care Homes in line with occupancy, skill mix, and service requirements.
• Reviewing and submitting timesheets, monitoring leave, and supporting accurate workforce planning.
• Collaborating with managers to fill vacancies, backfill shifts, and manage workforce gaps effectively.
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and staff development activities to strengthen workforce capability.
• Ensuring compliance with relevant employee agreements, awards, and policies.
• Building strong relationships with internal teams and external partners such as agencies and bureaus.

About You

You’re a confident communicator and natural problem-solver who thrives under pressure. You enjoy working collaboratively and take pride in delivering reliable, well-organised rosters that help teams focus on what matters most - caring for residents.

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• Proven experience in rostering within an aged care or healthcare setting (desirable)
• Excellent administration and database management skills, with strong attention to detail
• An understanding of industrial awards and employee agreements
• The ability to balance competing priorities, stay calm under pressure, and meet deadlines.
• Strong interpersonal, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills.
• A collaborative mindset and commitment to supporting a safe, person-centred care environment.
