The Opportunity

When was the last time you made a difference in someone's life?

It takes a special person to be a Home Care Worker and help the older members of our community to maintain their home and enhance their wellbeing. We are looking for just that person to join the Silverchain team in the Hervey Bay area.

What's on offer

  • Work close to home – Home Care Workers needed now in the Hervey Bay area

In addition, you will need:
