You will be a clear communicator and be able to manage your own time effectively.

We are seeking passionate and committed Direct Care Workers to join our Aged and Disability Services.

As a Direct Care Worker at Hume City Council, you will provide Personal Care, Domestic Assistance, Social Support and Respite Care.

In this role, you will not only be making a difference to people's lives but working for a progressive organisation that supports and values employee satisfaction and encourages career development.
