We are looking for a part time Garden Care Coordinator to support the delivery of a Garden Care service, funded under the Commonwealth Home Support Program.

The service supports older people in Inner West and South West Sydney and the office is in Belmore.

The Coordinator will utilise their management and service development skills and understanding of the community sector to make a difference. Their people skills will ensure staff and volunteers are trained and supported through the changes to the aged care sector as a result of the new Aged Care Act 2024.

The Garden Care program provides support for older people in the Inner West and Canterbury Bankstown Local Government Areas to remain living in their own home by converting gardens to become easy care, assisting with garden maintenance and by providing a lawn mowing service. 

Garden Care aims to convert gardens to “easy care” so that they become easier to maintain, are safer and are ecologically friendly. Garden Care staff work with our trained volunteers to undertake the garden conversion. This is achieved over one to three visits and includes weeding, mulching and pruning. We may also visit to safely poison difficult weeds prior to the main visit and can also assist with seasonal jobs such as rose pruning.

Please refer to the Position Description attached below.

For further information please contact Lyn Milne, Manager Aged Services, Canterbury City Community Centre on 9750 9344.
