Job Description

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 Port Adelaide area.

What's on offer

  • Work close to home – Home Care Workers needed now in the Port Adelaide area
  • Award rate $40.93 per hour + Super + Paid KM's

  • Employee benefits program + salary packaging up to $18,550 tax free each year

  • Are passionate about providing an excellent service.
  • Can build positive relationships with clients and their families.
  • Care about assisting our aged community members to live independently at home for longer.
  • Don't sweat the small stuff. Sometimes your client will be having a bad day or traffic delays you, but you know not to take this personally and can shake it off before your next client.

In addition, you will need:

  • A valid Australian Driver's Licence & your own insured, roadworthy vehicle

  • Best Care is care that is safe, personal, connected and effective.
  • We are proudly one of the few Australian home care providers accredited in both national health and aged care standards. This means the quality of care we provide is expected to meet the same standards as a hospital or residential aged care facility.
