About the Role

At Synergy Care & Education, we put people first—both the individuals we support and the team members who care for them. We're looking for a compassionate, reliable Community Care Assistant to help adults live with dignity and independence in their own homes, group settings, or assisted-living environments.

  • Offer companionship, emotional support, and engaging social activities.
  • Follow tailored care plans and record observations, promptly reporting any changes in health or behaviour.

  • Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that promotes wellbeing and independence.

What We're Looking For

  • Essential: empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to improve quality of life.
  • First Aid and CPR certification (or willingness to obtain).
  • Previous experience in community care, group homes, or assisted-living settings is an advantage.
  • Comfortable supporting people with dementia, Alzheimer's, autism, or other developmental/health conditions.
  • Ability to follow care plans, maintain confidentiality, and meet high hygiene standards.
  • Physically able to assist with lifting or mobility when required.

Why Work with Synergy

  • Service-first culture: we prioritise excellent client care and fair staff pay over sales targets.
  • Competitive hourly rates with prompt, reliable payment.
  • Flexible shifts to fit your lifestyle—days, evenings, or weekends.
  • Ongoing training & career development, including specialist courses in dementia and autism support.
  • A supportive management team that values your input and wellbeing.

Bring your compassion and commitment to care, and help us empower individuals to live their best lives.

Apply today and become a valued part of the Synergy Care & Education team.
