**What you’ll be doing in this role**

At Uniting we call our Support Workers "Home Care Workers ''.

You’ll also need a First Aid Certificate but if you don’t have one yet, we can help you with that also.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we support them to grow and develop to be their best through our strong commitment to learning, flexibility, great benefits and a positive culture of teamwork and cooperation. Together, we can build a better future for the people and communities we serve, and for you.
