ADSSI Limited has provided home and community services for over 35 years. Spanning across four locations in the Hunter and the Central Coast, we're a big organisation loaded with career opportunities, ranging from entry-level and traineeships to corporate and executive roles.

Together, our brands (Adssi In-home Support, Beresfield Community Care, Dungog & District Neighbourcare and Maitland Community Care Services) are an award-winning workplace. We deliver in-home aged and disability care services, including household help, personal care, respite, shopping, allied therapies, nursing, transport, social and community access, home modifications and maintenance.

Through our programs and a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, we support thousands of Australians to remain living safely and independently in their home and the local community.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Activities and Events Coordinator to join our Beresfield team. This part-time role (Monday to Friday, 9:00 am–2:00 pm) plays a vital role in delivering a holistic program that fosters independence, lifelong learning, social connection, and meaningful recreational activities for aged care clients and individuals living with a disability. The position primarily supports clients within the Beresfield and Maitland Community Care programs, in both group and one-on-one settings.

The role combines administration with hands-on involvement. You'll plan and coordinate group outings, as well as join clients on outings to community activities, helping them build friendships, maintain independence, and enjoy a vibrant lifestyle.

Your focus will be on enhancing and expanding the program, to empower our clients to grow, build genuine connections, and thrive. Social activities are at the heart of ADSSI's mission, and we value creating meaningful experiences that enrich our clients' lives.

At ADSSI, we also value work-life balance. Once you've completed onboarding and built confidence in the role, you'll generally have the flexibility to work from home after six months, with days and frequency dependent on operational needs.

What you've heard about ADSSI is true, we're proud of our genuinely supportive and positive workplace culture. You will be joining a fun, collaborative, and supportive team, and with the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others.
