Who are we looking for?
We are looking for individuals with unique skills and strengths to bring to our team. The other key ingredient is ‘you’ and your personality – welcoming and encouraging qualities as well as enthusiasm by the bucket load. While clinical care is important in an aged care environment, we see the true value of engaging with our residents in meaningful ways. We offer a broad range of activities and are seeking resident focused individuals with a vibrant approach to connect with our 144 residents.
If you are someone who understands the needs of older people who considers both their challenges and potential within an aged care environment, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

- A vibrant personality with a resident-focused mindset
- A willingness to go above and beyond to actively engage our residents
What can you expect to be doing?
- Working as a team to provide social programs that reflect the interests of our residents – e.g. facilitating gardening groups, exercise classes, book clubs
- Identifying opportunities to enhance both social and cultural engagement
- Acting as a listening ear for our residents, their families or advocates
- Connecting with our residents on an individual level – it could be as simple as sharing your favourite films over a cup of tea!
- Maintaining required documentation and reports crucial for a responsive service
