Community Care Worker

Community Care Workers – We need you

Colbrow Care is in the people business. More specifically we are in the business of caring for people who need a little and often a lot of support to live their best life. Amongst the many home nursing and care providers in the market, we like to think that focusing on our people – both staff and clients – and keeping their needs and best interests at the core of what we do, sets us apart from the rest. We are a third-generation Australian family owned and operated company, whose mission is to deliver excellence in personalised care solutions and services, so that all Australian families can live in the comfort of their own homes as independently as possible, for as long as possible.

We are inviting all Community Care Workers who are passionate about the provision of aged care, disability care and support services in the home, to join Colbrow Care and be part of something bigger. We want to invest in you and provide you with a rewarding career path that excites, challenges and motivates you to do what you do best – care.

A typical day will see you supporting a diverse range of clients in their homes and/or community. You will be responsible for the delivery of individual and person-centred care that enhances your clients’ independence, social and community participation and helps them achieve their goals in accordance with their care plans. You will support each client maintaining their independence by providing assistance with daily living tasks such as:

Personal care
Domestic Assistance
Medication Monitoring
Social Support
Transport
Respite Care
The common thread evident in each and every day is your provision of care delivered with empathy, professionalism, kindness and dignity. You will positively impact clients’ lives by increasing their independence and autonomy and reducing their experience of disadvantage.

We strive to set the industry benchmark as the most sought-after individualised care service provider, and therefore we need applicants who share our values of commitment, integrity, accountability, and compassion. Embracing these values means you will feel at home at Colbrow and be part of a dynamic team that endeavours to make a real difference to every client they engage with, helping them to live their best lives.

Certificate III in Aged/ Community Care, Disability or Individual Support
