Mount Gravatt East, Queensland, Australia Silver Heart Care Full time $40,000 - $70,000 per year
  • Do you enjoy your job?
  • Do you want a supportive team who cares about you, who has walked in your shoes, who listens?

About Us

Silver Heart Care is facilitating, helping, enlivening, supporting, uplifting, encouraging, positive, fun, forward thinking and above all listening. Not just to clients, also to our support workers. We are looking for people who want to join us to bring these attributes to clients as well.

Career Opportunity

With us you will have the opportunity to build a client base with regular hours so you can plan your time. You will have choice around your hours of work.

Client Responsibilities

Your role will be based around the requirements of your client.

  • Personal care, with a focus on grooming and presentation. (When we go out, we all want to feel good)
  • When going out with a client, we are not accompanying someone, we are a companion (there is a huge difference – no sneaky checks on social media for us we are too busy having a good time, engaged with our client).
  • If help is needed changing the sheets, pegging out the washing and bringing it in, folding and putting it away, we make sure the kitchen benches are cleaned, the floor is washed; things are done properly. Not a cursory wipe over for us. We want our client to be bragging to their friends that they have found the best assistance, not comparing our work to the way it should be done.
  • When assisting someone with their personal hygiene we clean up the bathroom, or the toilet, if we see something that needs attention, we care enough to ask about it and do it without any fanfare.

If this sounds like you... read on.
