Assistant in Nursing

**Assistant in Nursing | Part time available | Wynum, Queensland**

Join our passionate country-wide team of caring professionals dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the lives of older Australians. We’re one of the biggest providers, leading the way, showing personalised and respectful care for over 9,000 residents and clients across private and residential aged care homes, retirement living, day therapy and day respite centres.

We know it’s the little things that make a real difference, and believe in the power of hearts and minds to create real, lasting change. It’s work you can feel good about.

**The Opportunity**

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.

**Where you’ll call home**

Located 2km from Brisbane’s island playground Moreton Bay, Regis Wynnum is a Club Services Home set over an enviable 2.5acres of landscaped gardens and walkways. Our Wynnum Home is located 30 minutes from Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Airport, and within close proximity of train stations, local shopping centres, cafés, cinemas and restaurants.

**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 carers love about working here**

Enjoy the benefit of working for a big company, with better resources and equipment, and more layers of support to lean on, like on-call nurses, clinical care teams, specialists in things like health & safety and quality & improvement, maintenance staff, and more. This means you can focus on the real job of caring without feeling overwhelmed. With clear processes and excellent working conditions, you'll feel more confident and in control, making your job more rewarding.

As an organisation, we’ve invested the time and resources to create a safe space where everyone is treated with kindness and respect, where our leaders listen to your needs and feedback with compassion and understanding. Our commitment to your physical and psychological safety at work is showcased through our Circle of Care initiative, winner in the Safer and Supported Workforce Awards 2024.

You’ll be part of a truly supportive, culturally diverse team where your background is celebrated and contributions are genuinely appreciated, making you feel valued and respected. No matter where you’re from, you’ll have a place here at Regis to be your authentic self.
