Your new role

If you’re looking for a career where no two days are the same, that has you out in the community making a real difference, this is the role for you!

This is your opportunity to assist people from diverse backgrounds to live the best and most independent life they can, building meaningful connections and seeing the true impact of your work.

As a qualified Support Worker Home Care, your main responsibility will be to help our clients within their homes to maintain a level of independence, assisting with day-to-day activities and improving quality of life.

You will be working with clients in St Kilda and Melbourne surrounds.

A typical day will look like:

• Supporting our clients to be independent
• Providing meaningful social interaction
• Assisting clients with personal care, shopping, travel to appointments, or simply a stroll in the park

• A current First Aid Certificate including CPR
• A current Drivers Licence with a reliable registered car; and

You can look forward to

• Salary packaging expenses like your rent, holiday accommodation and dining out: up to $15,990 pre-tax
• Be reimbursed per kilometre for travel in your own vehicle
• Have access to work vehicles for client transport when required
