Job description

Why you will love Working Here

Getting older can mean giving up a lot, your home, your routine, your sense of independence. We don’t think it should.

With more than 800 team members and 200 volunteers, we’re here to help people keep living the life they love, with reliable in-home and community care, a local team who knows the neighbourhood, and the kind of support that always has time for a cuppa and a chat.

And we look after our team the same way. We offer real support, meaningful recognition, and rewards that reflect the difference you make every day.

Here’s what you can expect

• Clear, supported career pathways and training to help you grow
• Full induction and buddy shifts
• Not-for-profit salary packaging ($15,900 per annum)
• Kilometres reimbursement
• Leave loading to make your time off even more rewarding
• Branded workwear
• Employee referral reward program - because good people know good people
• Fitness Passport - access to gyms and wellness facilities
• Employee Assistance Program - confidential support when you need it
• QLeave — portable long service leave that recognises long-term care work

What you will be doing

OurDomestic Assistantsput heart into everything they do - no two days look the same, but each one makes a difference.

We are offering a Permanent Part-Time opportunity (40 hours per fortnight) with a consistent roster. Let us know your availability and preferred working hours, and we’ll work with you to establish a set schedule. Our ideal roster is Monday - Wednesday, 8:00am-2:00pm + Thursday, 8:00am-11:30am.

You’ll enjoy getting out into the community, providing in-home support to clients across the Caboolture region and surrounding communities. Servicing areas including Caboolture, Bellmere, Elimbah, Morayfield, Woodford, Kilcoy and neighbouring areas, you’ll play an important role in helping clients maintain their independence and wellbeing while living in their own homes.

The little things you do can make a big difference. Your day might include:

• Helping keep someone’s home feeling comfortable, whether that’s tackling the laundry, cleaning the kitchen, or freshening up the bathroom.
• Lending a hand with everyday tasks like preparing simple meals, making beds, ironing, or shopping.
• Sitting down for a cuppa and a chat, because sometimes company can mean just as much as practical help.
• Being a familiar face who helps make each day a little easier and a little brighter.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Love getting to know people and building real, lasting connections.
• Have experience with household cleaning and take pride in creating comfortable, welcoming spaces.
• Show up with compassion, reliability, and respect, every time.
• Genuinely care about helping older Australians live life the way they choose.
• Feel confident working independently while staying connected to your local community.
• Are physically fit, hold a current Australian Driver's Licence, and have a reliable vehicle.
• Have (or are happy to obtain) First Aid, CPR, and a National Criminal History Check.

Belonging Starts Here

We believe real care starts with real belonging. That means creating a workplace where everyone - no matter their background, culture, or story - feels seen, respected, and safe to be themselves.

We welcome applications from First Nations people, the LGBTIQA+ community, people with disabilities, and those from culturally diverse backgrounds. Your story matters here.

We proudly work across the lands of the Gubbi Gubbi (Gub-bee Gub-bee), Turrbal, Yuggera, Darumbal, Butchulla (Batjala) & Taribelang Bunda peoples, and extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We are committed to creating a culturally safe, inclusive and welcoming workplace for all.
