Job description

We are Scalabrini Communities. As a not-for-profit (or for-purpose), Catholic aged care organisation, Scalabrini puts resident needs first. We are not driven by profit maximisation and we are not guided by cost-cutting or revenue. Instead, we continuously invest back into our villages, to maintain our position as the aged care choice for migrant communities across New South Wales.

With a tradition of community, mutual help, faith and family, Scalabrini offers the provision of excellent care to the aged population and people living with dementia, delivered with a profound sense of respect for all cultures. We have eight aged care villages across NSW and SA, including five within the Sydney Metro area one in Griffith in regional NSW and two in South Australia as well as our Home Care program, Live Easy

We’re looking for two passionate and compassionate Carers to join our team at Chipping Norton Village on a casual basis.

If you enjoy supporting others, building meaningful relationships and making a positive difference in the everyday lives of older people, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll do

As a Carer, you’ll play an important role in supporting our residents to live with dignity, comfort and independence. Working under the supervision of the Registered Nurse and alongside the wider care team, you’ll provide compassionate, person-centred care that respects each resident’s individual needs, choices and preferences.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Providing personal care and daily living support in a respectful and compassionate manner.
• Supporting residents with their meals, including serving food and assisting with feeding when required.
• Encouraging residents to participate in activities and maintain their independence.
• Building positive and trusting relationships with residents, their families and fellow team members.
• Recognising and respecting each resident’s individual needs, preferences and choices.
• Contributing to a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for residents.

What you’ll bring

• A Certificate III in Aged Care or an equivalent qualification.
• Experience working in an aged care or community health setting.
• An understanding of dementia care and the needs of older people.
• Knowledge of person-centred care and a commitment to respecting residents’ dignity, choices and individuality.
• A caring, patient and compassionate approach, with a genuine desire to make a positive difference.
• Strong communication and customer service skills, with the ability to build and maintain positive relationships.
• The ability to work collaboratively and confidently in a flexible team environment.
• A commitment to delivering safe, respectful and high-quality care.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about others, takes pride in their work and understands that the little things we do every day can make a big difference to our residents.
