What you will be doing

Our Domestic Assistants put 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 (60 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 to Friday, 8:30am to 3:00pm. You’ll enjoy getting out into the community, providing in-home support to clients throughout Maryborough.

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.

You can still make a big impact. Volunteering is a great way to give back, connect with your community and support others.
