NWRH is currently looking for multiple Care Support Workers to join their team based in Mount Isa, with a mix of full-time and part-time roles available.
Working as part of a supportive, diverse and multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for supporting older people or people living with a disability in the community to meet their identified goals related to remaining independent in their home and connected with their community.
A typical day will include:
o Providing nutrition and hydration management, hygiene care, personal care and social activities for clients in accordance with their care plans;
o Assisting clients with domestic activities;
o Monitoring and reporting on the progress of clients, and consulting with them or their family about changes to their care plans;
o Reporting changes to client health conditions promptly to the Line Manager;
o Encouraging community care clients to achieve their optimum level of independence;
o Ensuring clients have access to social activities within the community;
o Assisting clients to remain socially engaged with their peers; and
o Organising and running group social activities.
Helping those who may not otherwise receive localized care and support, you’ll get to see the real difference your work makes in their lives.
It’s challenging, but we make a difference.
If you have a solid sense of adventure, are up for a new challenge, and are genuinely interested in making a real difference, this could be the role for you!
Suitable candidates will ideally hold a Certificate III in Aged Care, Disability, Community Care or Individual Support.

o Senior First Aid Certificate;

You will be a positive, solutions-focused, flexible self-starter with the ability to operate comfortably in both a team and individual environment with people of multicultural backgrounds.
Although not essential, previous experience in a similar role will be highly regarded, as will prior experience working in remote locations. Proficiency in the use of the Microsoft Office suite (or the ability to quickly learn) would also be advantageous.
