  • Knowledge of dementia and the aged care sector (preferred).
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with clients, carers, staff, and volunteers.
  • Proven organisational and administrative skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Office.
  • Leadership and supervisory experience, with the ability to manage multiple tasks.
  • A commitment to confidentiality, compassion, and The Haven's values.
  • A current First Aid certificate, National Police Check (or willingness to obtain), and eligibility for aged care worker screening.

What We Offer

  • A supportive, close-knit team environment.
  • The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with dementia and their carers.
  • Flexibility with part-time hours (12 hours per week, with potential to increase).
