**Description and requirements**:
**Carer / AIN - Gatton**

Join a team that, like you, truly loves what they do, deeply cares for our residents, and is invested in building real, lasting relationships over transactional ones. Here, you’ll get to work with the same residents each day - whether that’s helping them get around, assisting with personal care, or being a friendly face to laugh and share stories with - you’re allowing them to live with the independence and dignity they deserve.

In return, we’ll recognise and support you, celebrate and respect your unique skills and background, and create more opportunities for you to build the career and life you want.

**What your compassionate care looks like**
- See the unique person in every resident and empower their choices and independence by providing respectful, tailored support
- With a nurturing eye, monitor each resident throughout the day, escalating any changes in their preferences, needs or wellbeing, to get them the care they need
- Provide a helping hand with daily living activities like personal hygiene, grooming and oral care - those simple tasks that ensure dignity and comfort
- Offer social and emotional support by being there for residents, when no one else is - create smiles, listen to life stories, learning about cultures and sharing yours
- Keep our residents mobile, assist them during mealtimes, and help them engage in lifestyle activities that nourish their mind, body and spirit connection
- Stay on top of documenting incidents and care, while participating in Work Health and Safety programs to ensure a smooth, secure environment
- Work as one great team to deliver outstanding service that makes a significant, positive difference in our community

**What you'll bring to the role**
- A true passion for caring for others that goes beyond just doing a job
- A caring credential - a Certificate III or higher in Individual Support, Nursing, or related health/care studies
- Prior experience as a personal carer in aged care is a big plus, but if you're new to aged care, we'll make sure you get the training you need to succeed
- Most importantly, you'll need a commitment to holistic care that supports residents in achieving their goals and having all their needs met - we want them to live the life they deserve

If you're currently studying your nursing degree and have completed an aged care clinical placement, or you have an overseas nursing qualification, we definitely want to hear from you. Your compassion and dedication are exactly what we're looking for.

**What our people love about working here**

As a team that supports older people to live life on their terms, we genuinely care - for our people, our work and the elderly. That’s why we make a big deal of recognising and supporting you, creating a culture of mutual respect, and offering more opportunities to build your career.

We believe in the power of hearts and minds. Of thoughts and actions. And how the little things make a real difference. We're a close-knit, collaborative team that values kindness and puts your wellbeing first. Our commitment to your safety shines through in our Circle of Care initiative, the winner in the Safer and Supported Workforce Awards 2024, which ensures you're physically and psychologically safe at work. We want you to feel seen, valued, and respected for the skills you share and the professional growth goals you bring. So, we celebrate your work, support your life outside work and consider you one of our own from the start.
