ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Home Care Worker, you will be providing personalised home care support to older Australians in Newcastle and surrounding suburbs to assist them to continue living independently in their own homes.

This is a great opportunity for someone that is considering a change and looking to make a positive impact in their community, while developing their skills and building a career.
