What Our People Love About Working Here

A supportive, passionate culture: It's a community filled with inspiring, big-hearted people. We back each other, listen without judgement and lead with kindness, respect and unwavering support - for our customers, residents and each other. This is encouraged from the top down and worked hard at – every day.

Leaders who value you: It's important you feel valued. To us, this is not a one-off task. But a commitment to creating an environment where you feel seen, heard and valued – every day. Leaders and managers go out of their way to understand you, respect your opinions and hear what you have to say. This creates greater unity and collaboration with each other.

One team, united in our purpose: We support older people to have great lives. We put older people first in everything we do. On an everyday level, we help them age with dignity, independence, happiness and connectedness. On a big picture level, we're challenging ageist thinking in Australia. This is the Warrigal Way.

Who we are | A community who cares

Warrigal has firmly established itself in the aged care community for over 60 years. We're proud of the diverse range of retirement living and aged care services we've built up in that time, but we still have the same appetite to grow and innovate. Meaning, you'll have the chance to move around, get promoted or explore different areas across our expanding business in Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Queanbeyan, and Canberra – if that's what you want.

Do work that matters to you

This is your chance to do work that matters, and make a meaningful difference to the lives of Australia's older community – now and in the future.

JOIN US AND BE THE DIFFERENCE

We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people, workers of all abilities, ages and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to apply and join our community.

Are you keen? Then don't delay applying. We review applications as we get them and will close the vacancy once we find the right person.

Got questions? You can contact *******@warrigal.com.au but please don't send applications through email – we can't accept them.

If successful, you may be asked to do a medical, National Criminal History Check or NDIS Worker Screening Check, and provide references.
