Home Care Worker Goulburn

Service Integrated Communities | Goulburn

**Home Care Worker | Goulburn**

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**:
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. Day to day, you’ll help older people live with dignity, whether that’s helping them get around, go to the bathroom, take a shower, or enjoy a meal with a friendly face - in line with their personalised care plan, all while they remain in the comfort of their own homes. You will support their independence and empower them to live their lives on their own terms. You will also help them celebrate life with community-based fun and social activities, bringing them a sense of belonging in so doing. With our high standards in clinical and compassionate care, you will have the space to innovate and excel, doing work you are proud of. **_We currently have a high number of requests for female home carers to provide personal care for our female customers to ensure their dignity and privacy._**

**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 Home Care Worker, you’ll also need**:

- An empathy and commitment to the care of older people
- Certificate III in Aged Care or Individual Support OR prior experience in a related role

**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.

**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.

**You are the difference | 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.
