Personal Carer Queanbeyan and Act

With a legacy spanning close to 60 years, we’ve created communities so that older people can be independent, respected, happy and connected.

You too 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.

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. You will help them celebrate life with community-based fun and social activities and bring 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.

**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.

**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**

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
