From kitchen hand to qualified chef.

When Rattana joined Metlifecare’s Edgewater Village 4 years ago, she brought a passion for cooking and a willingness to learn. With workplace training, formal assessments and support from her manager, she progressed from kitchen hand to café assistant, cook and now qualified chef.

At Metlifecare, a role can be the beginning of a career. We support our people to grow, develop their skills and achieve their goals.

Happy International Women’s Day 💜

Today we recognise the many incredible women across Metlifecare who lead our teams, support our residents, and make our villages such special places to be every day.

Recently, Hannah Walton (Chief Operating and Strategy Officer) shared a bit about her leadership journey and what has shaped it along the way – highlighting how curiosity, care for people, and a willingness to keep learning can shape great leadership.

People often talk about leadership in terms of scale. The size of a business. The size of a transformation. The size of a mandate. But for Hannah Walton, the most meaningful measure is not scale at all. It is the human experience behind the numbers. It is how older New Zealanders feel in their homes...

We’re growing.

Mangawhai. Wānaka. Rototuna.

Three new villages taking shape - and with that comes new career opportunities across our teams.
