Bellmere, QLD | Full-time | Tuesday to Saturday

Are you creative, energetic and naturally good at bringing people together?

Your background may be in childcare, creative arts, community activities, recreation, events, disability support or aged care. More important than a particular job title is your ability to connect with people, develop engaging ideas and create meaningful experiences.

NewDirection Care Bellmere is the world’s first inclusive MICRO TOWN® community. Our unique model supports residents to experience genuine community, meaningful relationships and the freedom to live according to their individual interests, preferences and abilities.

We are looking for a warm, practical and enthusiastic person to join our supportive Lifestyle and Events team.

About the role

As a Lifestyle and Engagement Team Member, you will create activities, events and individual experiences that bring enjoyment, purpose and connection to residents’ daily lives.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Documenting resident participation and contributing to lifestyle and care-planning reviews
• Working collaboratively with the Lifestyle Manager and broader care team

• Bring creativity, enthusiasm and fresh ideas
• Feel comfortable facilitating group and individual activities
• Are patient, adaptable and responsive to individual needs
• Can balance creativity with organisation and documentation requirements

Requirements

• Current First Aid and CPR certificates, or willingness to obtain them
• Current NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, or willingness to obtain one
• A current driver’s licence and confidence occasionally driving a company minivan for resident outings — this is not a bus-driving position, and a bus licence is not required
• Ability to meet NewDirection Care’s vaccination requirements, including influenza and COVID-19
• Sound computer skills and the ability to learn our PCS aged-care software
• Evidence of eligibility to work in Australia

What we offer

• An above-award hourly rate
