Job description

Some people see a home visit... you see the moment someone's whole week lights up!

Comlink Australia helps older people and people with disability live well at home, on their terms. Every visit counts: a shower, a shop, a chat over a cuppa, a lift to see the grandkids. We need support workers who are reliable, kind and quietly brilliant at making ordinary days better.

This is not a clock in, clock out job. It’s real work with real people, and the difference you make is yours.

What your days look like

• Personal care. Help clients shower, dress and get ready for the day, with dignity every time

• Life at home. Meals, light cleaning, shopping and the jobs that keep a home running

• Out and about. Appointments, outings and visits to family and friends

• Noticing. Spot when something has changed and let the team know early

• The right way. Follow care plans and safety practices, every visit

Skills get you shortlisted. Your style gets you hired.

We can teach the tasks. We can’t teach the heart. You’ll probably be the person who:

• Turns up on time, every time

• Listens more than they talk and remembers how someone takes their tea

• Stays calm when the day doesn’t go to plan

• Brings a smile, a bit of fun and knows when someone just needs quiet

• Asks for help when they need it and offers it when others do

What you’ll bring

• Minimum Certificate III in Individual Support, Ageing or Disability

• A current driver licence and a registered, insured vehicle to use for business purposes (kilometre reimbursement offered)

• A satisfactory traffic history and First Aid & CPR certificate will be required

What’s in it for you

A part-time position with flexibility to choose the days and hours that work best for you, and a team that has your back. Fair warning: you'll be offered more cups of tea than you can possibly drink.

• Paid birthday leave

• Paid parental leave for eligible employees

• Matched voluntary super contributions up to 1%

No smoke. No mirrors. Just good people doing work that matters.

Now you see the visit.

Now you see the difference.

Now you see yourself making it.

Comlink Australia welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds, ages, abilities and identities. We know that different minds make better decisions.
