Support Worker – Nowra (in-home Aged Care)

About Us 

Allcare is one of the leading in-home aged care service providers in the Illawarra. We are passionate about providing cost effective, innovative, flexible and high quality services to our clients, allowing them to live independently in their own home and surroundings. We promote social engagement and health and wellbeing, focussing on all aspects of an individual to help them live their best lives. 

What are we looking for? 

We are seeking compassionate and reliable Community Support Workers (In-home Aged Carer) to join our team for a range of regular shifts, across a variety of mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekend patterns. Whenever possible, we allocate shifts close to where our workers are based and place strong emphasis on consistency, ensuring both our team and the people we support benefit from a high standard of care.

We recognise that life outside of work is important and will do our best to accommodate your commitments. To help us provide continuity of care for our clients, we value team members who communicate their availability clearly and honestly, enabling us to build consistent schedules that benefit both our clients and our workforce. 

Many of our clients come from diverse backgrounds, so the ability to speak another language, would be highly regarded but not necessary.  

The role involves: 

• personal care such as grooming, bathing, dressing and toileting as appropriate to the client’s capacity; 
• medication support and assistance such as medication reminders, support with Webster packs or insulin and blood pressure checks (with relevant training); 
• community support such as assistance with daily community interactions and appointments, assistance with grocery shopping, attending outdoor activities and meeting up with social groups; 
• transportation such as taking clients to medical or personal appointments, collection or drop off at services or shopping; and 
• household assistance such as meal preparation, cooking of meals and general help around the home. 

Unlike other providers, allcare team members are not required to do large blocks of cleaning, as we provide separate professional cleaning services to our clients. We also cover all travel time between clients as well as the reimbursement of kilometres travelled. 

To be successful in this role you will have: 

• a great attitude with a genuine interest in helping others and a can do attitude; 
• an understanding of the care needs of older people and a commitment to providing quality care; 
• the ability to work independently in an unsupervised environment; 
• reliability and a commitment to keeping your availability up to date; 
• a valid driver’s licence and access to an insured vehicle; 
• a mobile phone with Internet access; 
• willingness to undertake a National Police Check History check;  
• valid working rights in Australia; and 
• a minimum of two (but preferably three) COVID-19 vaccination doses and willingness to obtain the annual Influenza vaccination each year. 

Our team members enjoy:

• working in a supportive environment in a position that offers variety and makes a difference to someone’s life; 
• access to our Thrive Care Group benefits including Flare (discounts platform) and EAP; 
• access to learning and development opportunities; 
• Refer a Friend (employee referral) scheme; and
