**The locations | A home to belong to**
Warrigal is proud to deliver exceptional, person-centred care across seven residential aged care homes throughout the Illawarra region. We are currently recruiting at the following locations, each offering a supportive environment and a strong sense of community.

**Warrigal Mt Terry** in the foothills of Albion Park surrounded with schools and sports grounds

**Warrigal Shell Cove** an innovative coastal village, close to beaches, cafes and marina

**Warrigal Multicultural Village** provides care and support for older people who are from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

**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.

**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, creating a world where older people feel **known, loved** and **connected.**

**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.

**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, you are the difference. We believe in celebrating diversity and creating a culture of inclusion and support in everything we do. We embrace the unique experiences, backgrounds, identities, abilities, and perspectives of our residents, customers, staff and volunteers to create a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

Realise your potential in a place where appreciation, belonging, growth and purpose allows everyone to thrive.
