• Build positive relationships with Elders, families, carers and the wider Wyanga team.
• Observe and report changes in wellbeing, risks, incidents or support needs.
• Complete accurate care notes, attendance records and other documentation using mobile systems.
• Follow care plans, professional boundaries, work health and safety requirements and Wyanga policies.
• Participate in team meetings, training and professional development.

About you

You will be someone who:

• Has a genuine commitment to supporting Aboriginal Elders and community.
• Is respectful, patient, reliable and compassionate.
• Understands the importance of culture, family, kinship and community.
• Can build trusting relationships while maintaining professional boundaries.
• Is comfortable working independently in people’s homes and in community settings.
• Communicates clearly and can complete accurate documentation.
• Is willing to use mobile apps and electronic care systems.
• Can identify concerns and seek help or elevate issues when required.
• Certificate III in Individual Support, Ageing, Aged Care, Home and Community Care, Disability, Community Services or a related field; or relevant experience and willingness to undertake training.
• Current or willingness to obtain a National Police Check and required aged care worker screening.
• Current First Aid and CPR, or willingness to obtain and maintain.
• Access to a reliable and roadworthy vehicle, with appropriate registration and insurance where a private vehicle is used for work.
• Satisfactory Australian working rights.
• Ability to complete all mandatory aged care training and compliance requirements.

Experience working with Aboriginal communities, within CHSP, Home Care Packages or Support at Home, or with people living with dementia or complex support needs will be highly regarded.

Why work with Wyanga?

• Meaningful work supporting Aboriginal Elders and community.
• A culturally grounded and community-focused workplace.
