Job description

Care Manager – Support at Home

Ready to make a real difference in the lives of older Australians?

Dovida is looking for an experienced Care Manager who knows Support at Home (SaH), is confident managing a caseload, and genuinely loves working with people.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who can hit the ground running. You’ll bring strong aged care experience, a solid understanding of Support at Home funding and budgets, and the confidence to manage the full client journey while delivering truly person-centred care.

You’ll be the trusted person clients and their families can rely on — someone who takes the time to understand what matters to each individual and turns that understanding into practical, meaningful support.

What you’ll be doing

• Manage a portfolio of clients and build genuine, trusted relationships with clients and their families.
• Complete assessments and develop personalised care plans based on each client’s needs, goals and preferences.
• Use your Support at Home and HCP knowledge to plan and coordinate services effectively within available funding.
• Coordinate caregivers, allied health professionals and other providers to deliver consistent, high-quality care.
• Monitor client wellbeing and proactively review care as needs and circumstances change.
• Manage client budgets and funding with a focus on sustainable, appropriate service delivery.
• Maintain accurate care plans, documentation and funding records.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is caseload‑ready and can make an immediate contribution.

You’ll have:

• Demonstrated experience as a Care Manager, Case Manager or similar aged care professional.
• Strong, practical experience with the Support at Home program, including funding, budgets and service coordination.
• Experience managing a client caseload and coordinating multiple services and stakeholders.
• A strong understanding of person‑centred care and the ability to turn individual needs and goals into practical care plans.
• Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills — you’re a genuine people person who can build trust with clients, families and care teams.
• The confidence to have sometimes difficult conversations while keeping the client’s best interests at the centre.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail across care plans, budgets, documentation and competing priorities.
• A practical, solutions‑focused approach and the ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team.

Why Dovida?

At Dovida, people are at the heart of everything we do.

You’ll also enjoy:

• Build a meaningful career supporting older Australians and their families to live well at home
• Enjoy your birthday your way, with a paid day off each year
• Paid wellness, volunteering and study leave to support your wellbeing and growth
• Save on your next car with our novated leasing options
• Be recognised at your annual Heart of Dovida awards, celebrating the people who bring our values to life
