Care Partner

Every person’s story is different….. and so is the care they need. As our Care Coordinator/Care Partner, you’ll take the lead in shaping and tailoring individual care plans that truly reflect each client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. These plans aren’t set-and-forget; you’ll revisit and refine them as lives change, making sure support always stays aligned with aged care standards and legislation.

You’ll walk alongside clients on their care journey, many of whom have faced homelessness, mental health challenges, or complex life events. With a trauma-informed approach, you’ll listen deeply, advocate respectfully, and create an environment where clients feel safe, supported, and informed to make choices about their care.

Your gift for building trust, forming respectful connections, and communicating with genuine warmth will leave a lasting impact, not just on the quality of care, but on the confidence and dignity of the people you support.

A day on the job will see you:

• Coordinating care for clients with varying levels of need from moderate to high and complex, you make sure they receive the right support at the right time.
• Carrying out thorough assessments to understand each person’s circumstances, goals, and preferences.
• Developing, reviewing and adjusting care plans that are person-centred, practical, and aligned with both client needs and regulatory requirements.
• Overseeing the smooth delivery of home care services under the Support at Home Program ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Keeping clear, accurate and confidential records of interactions, services, and client progress, all in line with privacy and documentation standards.

Your application will go to the top of our shortlist you have:

• A Certificate IV in Aged Care or Diploma in Nursing
• Previous experience in a similar role is great, but not essential — a background in nursing is also highly regarded, bonus points if you have worked in the mental health sector
• Solid understanding of aged care standards, ACAT assessments, and case management
• A collaborative approach, strong communication skills, and the ability to resolve client issues with care and professionalism
• Experience supporting people with diverse or unique needs
• Strong computer skills and a keen eye for detail when it comes to documentation and record keeping

What’s in it for you?

• Pay: Competitive salary, plus NFP salary packaging giving you the potential to gain $15,900 in tax benefits
• Leave: 23 days annual leave, that’s 3 days more than the standard 4 weeks
• Perks: Trendy workwear, lots of social activities, expand your experience by joining a consultation committee, interact with the people we exist to support
• Hours: 38 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
• Career development: Training, accessible leaders, growth and advancement opportunities
• Culture: Exceptional workplace culture – we work hard and have fun while we do it
