There to care. Here for good. 

Aged care is so important. Some people forget that. You don’t and neither do we. Because helping people is what we were born to do.
We’ve been a leading provider of aged care in communities across South Australia since 1953. That’s a long journey, and we’re proud of our stability and strength.

Now, we’re on a mission to continue to grow and improve our services and impact, hand in hand with our fantastic team.
Here, every moment matters and every client counts. And so do you.

Join us as a Residential Care Worker, and be there to care.

A brighter future with Helping Hand, for older people and for you.

You’ll also make an impact by:

  • Ensuring the personal care delivered is based on the care plan
  • Supporting the residents to live a life of choice and independence
  • Contributing to the care plan development with your views and observations about the client.

  • A Certificate III in Aged Care or studying towards a nursing qualification and have completed the placement stages
  • Good communication skills, including the ability to speak and write clearly and accurately
  • A minimum of  1-2 years experience as a care worker (ideally in an aged care setting)
  • A valid NDIS Worker Screening clearance or be willing to obtain one
