Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Garden Village Port Macquarie Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Make a Life, Not Just a Living.
This isn't just a job — it's a lifestyle. Imagine wrapping up your shift and enjoying a drive past the ocean, stop by to feel the sand on your feet, throw a line in the river to catch dinner, enjoy a sunset picnic on the waterfront, or take a refreshing morning wander along some glorious walking trails. That's the balance we believe in.

Joining our growing team at Garden Village sees you joining a premier aged care, community service and retirement living provider located in the coastal hub of Port Macquarie, nestled about half way between Sydney and the Gold Coast. Garden Village has supported our community for over 40 years and is recognised as an industry leader.

Our town of Port Macquarie is a hidden gem on the stunning Mid North Coast, known for its pristine beaches, vibrant local culture, fresh seafood, and laid-back way of life. Whether you're into swimming, fishing, surfing, hiking, sailing, or just enjoying the sunshine in the great outdoors, you'll find your bliss here.

Why Move Here?

  • No long commutes or metro public transport delays
  • Affordable cost of living compared to big cities
  • Friendly, diverse, and open community
  • Scenic beauty and endless outdoor activities that cost nothing to enjoy
  • Excellent range of schools and healthcare providers
  • A slower pace of life with room to breathe — and grow

About the Role:

We're seeking passionate, talented Personal Care Assistants to provide meaningful support to our residents. You'll be part of a supportive, innovative team where your ideas matter and your work has impact and you will help us shape the future of exceptional aged care services - all while enjoying the serene lifestyle of a seaside community.

  • A passion for always delivering exceptional service

  • Previous experience as a carer in aged care
  • Ability to work a 7 day rotating roster (evenings, night shifts and weekends)
  • Australian work rights (unfortunately we are currently unable to offer visa sponsorship)

…then we would love to hear from you
