Wollongong, Australia Warrigal Full time

Service Integrated Communities | Wollongong

**Leisure and Entertainment Officer | Aged Care | Wollongong**
You are their smile. Their joy. Their morning walks, and tea-time talks.
Their keeper of stories; of moments and memories. The dignity they deserve. Community they belong to. And family to come home to.
You are their kindness. Compassion. Empathy. And understanding.
The difference in their lives.
You deserve every opportunity to be recognised, supported and challenged to fulfill your role in the world. But what does this look like?

**The opportunity | Valued for the impact you make**
It takes a unique person to care the way you do. We see it, our managers see it, and our residents, customers and their families see it. Within this community, you are valued for the impact you make and thanked for your selfless care.In your role you will provide and promote leisure activities that will engage resident participation. Bring your innovative and creative style to develop recreational activities that both stimulate and provide entertainment for all residents. You will build strong relationships with our residents through encouragement, activity engagement and communication. With our high standards in clinical and compassionate care, you will have the space to innovate and excel, doing work you are proud of.

**The benefits | Recognising the difference you make**
- Hourly rate: $32.20 + Superannuation + penalty rates for nights and weekends, and NFP salary packaging (pay up to $18,550 less tax per year, meaning more money for you)
- A fantastic on-boarding program to set you up for success, ongoing support and mentoring from clinical educators
- Opportunities to gain further qualifications and develop broader holistic care skills in physical, mental health and social, with ongoing advanced training
- Subsidised access to your local gym and 200+ more across the country with a Fitness Passport
- 24/7 access to mental, physical, social, and financial support via the LifeWorks app

**The requirements | What it takes to do this work**
No matter your role, it takes a real love of caring, a willingness to jump in and do the work, and a genuine desire to make a difference. As a Leisure and Entertainment Officer, you’ll also need:

- Must be able to Work Weekends
- Current First Aid certificate
- Completed a Certificate III or above in Aged care or Lifestyle (desirable)
- Good communication skills (verbal and written)
- Creative mindset
- Previous experience working with the elderly
- Demonstrated computer literacy skills
- Demonstrated organisation skills

**The locations | A home to belong to**
We have permanent part-time and full-time opportunities available in our Wollongong home:
**Warrigal Wollongong, NSW**

**What our carers love about working here**
**Unexpected opportunities to grow**:
You’ll find ongoing training and support that allows you bigger responsibilities, more senior roles and potential pay increases. Our preference is to promote from within, so there are opportunities to specialise, become an RN, or move into a non-clinical management role. We offer carer roles across our home, residential and lifestyle services, giving you variety beyond the expected.
**Better life balance**:
We respect your life outside of your job, and work with you to design schedules that help you plan your study, family, and personal commitments around better, steadier rosters.
**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.
**Create a meaningful legacy**:
At Warrigal, you’re not just doing care work. You’re shaping a society that respects and celebrates ageing, connects families, and frees up their time to create treasured, lasting memories. You’re creating a culture of kindness, compassion and understanding, that can be passed down to future generations. Let this be your legacy.**Who we are | A community who cares**:
Warrigal has firmly established itself in the aged care community for over 60 years. Despite the diverse range of retirement living and aged care services we’ve built up in that time, 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.

**Join us and be the difference**
We proudly acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live, and we honour their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
At Warrigal, we believe in celebrating diversity and creating a culture of inclusion and support in everything we do. We embrace th
