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.

What you will be doing

As part of our Home & Garden Services team, you'll help older Australians keep living life their way in the place they call home. Whether it's mowing a lawn that's getting a little too much to manage, trimming hedges, clearing gutters or helping with jobs around the house, you'll make everyday life feel a little easier.

Working across Sunshine Coast communities, you'll visit customers in their homes and become a familiar face they can rely on. You'll start your day from our Maroochydore Homemaker Centre Head Office, where you'll collect a fully equipped company vehicle and head out with a team member to deliver services across the region. This is a casual position, with shifts typically worked between 7:00am and 3:00pm, Monday to Friday, depending on customer needs and service schedules.

Together, you'll complete a variety of home and garden maintenance tasks, including mowing, edging, brush cutting, pruning, weeding, pressure washing, window and gutter cleaning, and helping with those harder-to-reach jobs like ceiling fans, smoke alarms and high cupboards. All tools, equipment and training are provided.

The work is hands-on, but the impact goes well beyond a tidy lawn or freshly cleaned gutter. Every visit helps someone stay safe, connected to their community, and living independently in the home they know and love.

You will Thrive in this role if you

• Love getting to know people and building genuine, lasting connections.
• Show up with kindness, reliability and respect, every time.
• Genuinely care about helping older Australians keep living life the way they choose.
• Have experience in home and garden maintenance, landscaping, property maintenance or a similar role. Experience in aged care, disability support or community services is highly regarded, but heart, know-how and a willingness to learn matter just as much.
• Know how to plan your day, communicate clearly and keep things running smoothly.
• Enjoy working independently but are equally happy teaming up when the day calls for it.
• Are confident using mobile technology to stay connected and get the job done.
• Are comfortable using a wide range of powered garden and maintenance equipment, including mowers, whipper snippers, hedge trimmers, blowers, brush cutters and pressure washers.
• Are physically fit and enjoy hands‑on outdoor work in a variety of weather conditions.
• Hold a current Australian Driver's Licence and are confident driving and caring for a company vehicle and equipment.
• Are committed to following safe work practices and using equipment responsibly.
• 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.
