Job description

A1 Community Care Providers – Newcastle NSW

At A1 Community Care Providers (A1CCP), we support people to live with greater independence, choice and connection within their homes and communities.

We provide personalised support to people living with disability and older Australians, and we're looking for caring, reliable and enthusiastic Community Support Workers to join our growing team across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the Hunter.

Whether you're supporting someone to get out into the community, assisting with daily living, providing personal care, your work can make a meaningful difference to someone's day.

Make a Difference in Your Community

At A1 Community Care Providers (A1CCP), we support people to live with greater independence, choice and connection within their homes and communities.

We provide personalised support to people living with disability and older Australians, and we're looking for caring, reliable and enthusiastic Community Support Workers to join our growing team across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the Hunter.

Whether you're supporting someone to get out into the community, assisting with daily living, providing personal care, your work can make a meaningful difference to someone's day.

About the Role

No two people are the same, and no two days in community care are exactly alike.

Depending on the individual you're supporting, your role may include:

• Supporting people with daily living and personal care

• Assisting people to remain independent in their own homes

• Community access, appointments, shopping and social activities

• Supporting individual goals, interests and routines

• Providing companionship and social connection

• Domestic assistance and everyday household tasks

• Following individual care and support plans

• Communicating with families, carers and the wider A1CCP team

• Supporting both disability and aged-care clients according to their individual needs

Above all, we are looking for people who understand that quality support starts with listening to the person, respecting their choices and providing support in the way that works for them.

We'd Love to Hear From You If You Are:

• Compassionate, respectful and genuinely interested in supporting others

• Reliable and committed to providing consistent support

• Comfortable working independently in people's homes and in the community

• Flexible and able to adapt to different people, routines and support needs

• A clear and confident communicator

• Professional while still bringing warmth and personality to your work

• Willing to learn and continue developing your skills

• Someone who values dignity, choice, independence and inclusion

Qualifications & Requirements

Ideally, you will have:

• Certificate III in Individual Support, Disability, Aged Care, Community Services, Mental Health or a similar qualification

• Current First Aid Certificate

• Current Working with Children Check (where required)

• NDIS Worker Screening Check

• Current driver's licence and reliable transport

• Previous experience in disability, aged care or community support is highly regarded

We also welcome applications from people who have the right attitude, values and commitment to providing high-quality support.

Why Join A1CCP?

At A1 Community Care Providers, our Community Support Workers are an important part of our team.

We aim to thoughtfully match workers with the people they support, considering individual needs, personalities, interests and availability.

You'll be joining a local team that offers:

• Flexible casual work

• A variety of disability and aged-care support opportunities

• Ongoing training and professional development

• Support from an approachable local management team

• Opportunities to develop your skills and experience

• A workplace where your feedback and ideas are welcomed

• Meaningful work supporting people within your local community

We believe great community care is built on respect, consistency, genuine relationships and choice — for the people we support and for the people who work with us.

We'd Love to Meet You
