About the Position
Anglicare’s Brisbane North Community Aged & Disability service offers a range of supports and assistance to a variety of local residents, including help at home, social inclusion and community connectedness. We are looking for people who can provide practical and emotional help to others, calling on their own real-life experiences to build rapport and relationships.  Your support will enable our clients to remain living independently and comfortably in their own homes, throughout the the Burpengary, Bribie Island and Redcliffe regions.
  
We have a variety of clients requiring assistance, so alongside a friendly, proactive manager your focus will be on supporting people to be the best they can be.  This means having fun and enjoying life:

  • Personal grooming and hygiene; assistance with medication reminders and general self-care
  • Transport assistance to the supermarket, or to watch a local sports team
  • Assistance with domestic duties and general help around the house
  • Helping our young people with disabilities – including visits to the hairdresser, Mani-Pedi’s or the local café for a coffee
  • Outdoor activities, a gentle stroll, taking someone to the movies once a week, or helping out in the garden
  • Food shopping, menu planning and meal preparation – or assisting with arts, crafts and new creations! 

We have a number of part time and casual roles working shifts between 6.00am and 8.00pm, both weekdays and weekends.

  • Creativity, enthusiasm, sensitivity and emotional stability
  • Strong communication and organisational skills – able to manage your time and support clients to do the same in an everyday capacity

Our team members come from all walks of life, and these roles will suit:

  • Career changers, parents returning to work and young people with passion
  • People who have some extra time and appreciate being with others
  • Those who have strong work ethics and enjoy being team players
