With more than 800 team members and 200 volunteers, we’re here to help people keep living the life they love, with reliable in-home and community care, a local team who knows the neighbourhood, and the kind of support that always has time for a cuppa and a chat.

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.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Clear, supported career pathwaysand training to help you grow

• Fitness Passport - access to gyms and wellness facilities
• Employee Assistance Program - confidential support when you need it
• QLeave — portable long service leave that recognises long-term care work

What you will be doing

Our Support Workers put heart into everything they do. You’ll spend your days visiting people around Noosa and Tewantin - no two days look the same, but each one makes a difference.

You’ll help with:

• Delivering care that’s tailored to each person’s needs and Care Plan
• Personal care, mobility support, and medication reminders
• Preparing meals and supporting good nutrition
• Providing respite - whether it’s at home or out and about
• Lending a hand with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, bed making, and shopping
• Offering social support that keeps people connected to what (and who) matters most

For this role, you will be required to use your own reliable vehicle to travel to customer homes and help transport the people we support in the community.

This is a Permanent Part-time role (52 hours a fortnight). We invite you to share your availability and hours you would prefer to work so we can provide you with a set roster. Our preferred roster is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:00am-3:00pm.

• Show up with compassion, reliability, and respect - every time
• Feel confident working independently while staying connected to your local community
• Genuinely care about helping older Australians live life the way they choose
• Have experience in aged care, disability support, or community work - a Certificate III is great, but heart and know-how matter just as much
• Hold a current Australian Driver’s Licence and have a reliable vehicle
• Have (or are happy to get) First Aid, CPR, and a National Criminal History Check

We are committed to creating a culturally safe, inclusive and welcoming workplace for all.
