About the opportunity

Due to our organisational growth and increase in our client numbers serviced through our Home Care Package (HCP) Program, we are seeking to appoint Personal Care Workers.

Whilst our head office is located in the Inner West (Maidstone); our wrap around services cover all of the Melbourne Metro and Geelong regions. We offer the opportunity for our Personal Care Workers to work close to home, within your local community.
