We are unable to consider Skilled or Student Visa applicants for this opening.

CareTech is a person-centred care company that provides quality care to adults. We enable young people and adults with complex needs to make their own life choices and to develop confidence and independence to live, learn, thrive, and engage, building a better future.

We refer to this as Extraordinary Days, Every Day.

Being a support worker is very rewarding but also hard and challenging at times. Support workers need to be able to understand that not every day is going to be sunshine and smiles. Being able to watch and support the individuals makes those hard days a lot easier. Seeing people live independently and thrive in life is a reward in itself. No two days are the same; you will face and overcome many challenges, but the rewards are priceless.
