Are you the kind of person who spots a fix before anyone else does? We are looking for a reliable and hands-on Maintenance Officer to join our team at the Little Mountain Aged Care site. This isn't a "stuck behind a desk" kind of job. If you love being outdoors, getting your hands dirty, and taking genuine pride in seeing a job done well, this role is a great fit. You’ll be the one ensuring our gardens are thriving and our facilities are safe, functional, and inviting for our residents and the community. Every day is a bit different here. One morning you might be shaping hedges, and the next you’re handling a quick repair to keep things running smoothly. We’re looking for someone who brings a bit of common sense, a positive attitude, and a real willingness to help.

In this role, you will:

• Bring the outdoors to life: Look after our gardens by trimming, pruning, mulching, and keeping our plants healthy.
• Keep things tidy: Ensure our paths, common areas, and outdoor spaces are safe, weed-free, and well-presented.
• Handle general maintenance: Use your practical trade skills to carry out repairs and keep our building in great shape.
• Stay proactive: Follow our maintenance schedule so that problems are fixed before they become bigger issues.
• Support the team: Be a helpful pair of hands for day-to-day tasks as they pop up.

This role really suits someone who enjoys variety and understands that a well-maintained environment makes a world of difference to the people living and working here.

Our ideal candidate has:

• Practical experience: A background in maintenance, handyman work, or groundskeeping.
• Essential tickets: Current First Aid and CPR certificates.
• Safety awareness: A solid understanding of Work Health and Safety (WHS), or a willingness to get certified within your first month.
• A driver’s licence: Essential for getting around.
• The right attitude: You’re someone who aligns with our values of Integrity, Compassion, Excellence, and Courage.
• Relevant experience: Previous experience in aged care or community services is a huge bonus, but not a dealbreaker.
• Legal work rights: You must hold valid Australian work rights, as we are unable to provide sponsorship for this role.

Through our faith-based mission, our team works together to provide holistic support across family services, community housing, retirement living, home care, and residential aged care.
