Aged Care Support Worker - Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounds
At Mosaic Multicultural Connections (Mosaic), our home care services are growing. We have aged care clients throughout the Newcastle, Port Stephens, Lake Macquarie, and Hunter areas.
Mosaic is an independent not-for-profit organisation providing a range of services including aged care to culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across the Hunter, Central Coast, and New England regions of NSW.
One of the most rewarding things you can do in life is to provide assistance for those that need a hand. We have many clients in their own homes that just need a bit of support and TLC.
You would be providing assistance to keep our clients safe and well in their homes and in the community. It is surprising what a difference you can make to someone just helping them do things they may be unable to safely do themselves.
