About HomeCareDirect

HomeCareDirect is a national service provider and a leader in personalised home care.  We are committed to delivering safe, compassionate and person-centred care, while supporting our staff with top-quality training, supervision and development opportunities.

  • Ongoing support from a dedicated Regional Care Lead and Nurse
  • 24/7 on-call support
  • Career development opportunities and personal development plan
  • Employee benefits including: a Blue Light discount card, Long Service Awards, PA of the Quarter Awards and wellbeing options including 24/7 confidential support provided by Spectrum Life

 The role of this Personal Care Assistant

Our personal care assistants join our client’s support team, providing reliable, essential care and support in their home.  You will be employed by HomeCareDirect on behalf of the client and your focus will be to support them only.  This role is part-time, working 20 hours per week on a Wednesday and Saturday, 10:00am to 20:00pm.

 

About the Client and Duties

Our client lives independently with his partner and is full of energy and enthusiasm.  As a DJ with a deep passion for music, he would love for you to share that same enthusiasm.

 

He is eager to become even more active.  He enjoys outings to the park and the beach and is looking for someone sociable, fit, and energetic to help him attend more events and activities.  Although he uses a wheelchair, it doesn't limit his zest for life.  A good sense of humour is essential, as he’s known for his playful sarcasm—so if you’re easy-going, you’ll definitely have fun

 

You will be responsible for a wide range of tasks that can vary by the day so an amount of flexibility is required.  Some of the main duties include:  administering medication, moving and handling, assisting our client in the community and to get to and from appointments, administrative duties, cooking and cleaning and ensuring his holistic wellbeing is supported at all times.

 

If you’re open-minded, laid-back, and don’t mind working in a smoking environment or being around cats, this role could be a great fit.  He invites you to join them and share some laughs

 

Ideally you will be a driver but please don’t let this put you off applying as our client will also consider non-drivers if you have the right qualities.

  • Full induction
