You'll collaborate closely with our allied health team and referring care managers to develop clear, tailored care plans that reflect each client's goals and values.

This is a truly holistic role where your insights and compassion will help clients feel seen, safe, and supported—exactly what aging in place should look like.

What you'll need:

  • Experience in conducting assessments and creating personalized care plans
  • Skills in coordinating with healthcare professionals and delivering therapeutic interventions
  • Strong communication, empathy, and interpersonal skills
  • Familiarity with aged care and understanding of the needs of elderly clients
  • Ability to work independently and in a hybrid work environment
  • Bachelor's degree in Social Work
  • Registration with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW)
