Expression of Interest - Personal Care Worker
Apply now to register your interest for future role opportunities. At Infinite Aged Care, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide an environment which encourages and enables residents to remain independent. Our Personal Care Workers (PCW) are highly visible and play a key role in helping us achieve this at our Tweed Heads Care Home.
Working closely with and supported by the clinical, lifestyle and hospitality teams, you will work with limited direct supervision and be responsible for delivering resident-centric care in a timely and compassionate manner which enables residents to make choices and have control over their support needs.
About You
At Infinite Care, we hire on attitude and aptitude, so experience in the aged care sector is not necessary. What is essential, however, is that you have a resident/customer-centric mindset and the ability to communicate effectively, build rapport, and maintain professional relationships with residents and co-workers alike. In addition, you will also:
* Demonstrate 1 year in the Australian Aged Care Sector.
* Exhibit an excellent work ethic, ability to work in a team, and follow set safety procedures at all times.
* Maintain excellent safety awareness to avoid our residents tripping, falling, or hurting themselves.
* Think on your feet, ensuring our residents are the main focus as you will be making a difference in their lives every day.
* Have a passion for making a difference to the elderly by being their personal carer, including building positive relationships with their families.
* Possess a very positive teamwork attitude, be punctual, offer to help, and be a supportive and enjoyable team colleague.
* Hold a Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care) OR have completed 1st year nursing studies.
* Must have the industry compliance of NDIS Workers Screening Clearance (or willingness to obtain).
This is a busy role where you will be moving all the time with a lot of bending, lifting, pushing, and squatting to do your duties safely. All our Carer roles will be required to complete an online medical assessment prior to a formal offer to maintain personal and workplace safety standards.
