Why would you choose to be a Residential Care worker?

Easy. It's not your average role, and not for the average person. Each day is unique: there are occasionally challenges - but on the flip-side, it's always rewarding and certainly never dull.

At Flintwood Disability Services our goal is to create and enhance opportunities for people with disabilities. We're committed to working with individuals (and their families) to support their right to be independent and live their life their way!

And this is where you come in! We have the following two positions available:

• Residential Care Worker - 26 hours per week
• Residential Care Worker - 36 hours per week

Are you gentle , calm and down-to-earth? You're able to listen, you're patient and you're steadfast. But you're also lively, value the importance of fun and are able to be spontaneous - if the thought of breaking into song in the kitchen fazes you, then this is probably not the role for you!

But if you're prepared to have a great time while you provide invaluable support to a talented individual, then this is your chance. In return, you'll have the constant support of our passionate and engaged team, learning and development opportunities and a competitive hourly rate to make things as easy for you as possible.
