About your opportunity

This role provides essential domestic cleaning services only to support older community members in their homes. It is not a support worker or personal care role. Working to a set roster, you'll complete cleaning tasks across several households each day, observe and report any changes in clients' circumstances, maintain professional boundaries, and communicate respectfully with clients, carers and families. You'll also work closely with the Home Care Services Coordination Team to ensure safe, consistent service delivery.

Requirements:

  • Ability to perform physically demanding cleaning tasks, including servicing up to four homes per day.
  • Applicants are advised this position works in an identified Aged Care Facility as per the Aged Care Act 2024 and therefore requires employees and volunteers to have a current National Police Certificate.
