Personal Care Worker - Home Care - Gippsland

Feel empowered to do your best

Join our team of 2200+ people making a positive difference to over 15,000 older Victorians through aged care services. As a respected not-for-profit organisation, we’re transforming the experience of ageing through collaboration, new ideas and investment in people and services. 

The Role

We are seeking Expression of Interests for Personal Care Workers (PCWs) to join our Community, Health and Care team supporting clients across the Gippsland Region.

Our Personal Care Workers provide one-on-one support to help older Victorians live comfortably and independently in their own homes. They help clients stay connected and feel supported by assisting with daily activities, personal care, domestic support, and community engagement.

If you do not have a relevant aged care qualification, you can provide domestic assistance to older clients within their own homes, such as light cleaning and light cooking / meal preparation duties. 

We offer permanent part time contracts for a minimum of 10 hours per fortnight. We then offer shifts based on client needs and your location / availability.
