• Casual Vacancies - In Home Care Children

Hannah’s House is a Perth-based not for profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for children living with life-limiting conditions or complex health needs and their families. We offer flexible, individualised in-home respite, care and support through a dedicated team of Registered Nurses.

Hannah’s House currently operates an in-home care model. We have a pool of Registered Nurses and experienced Disability Support Workers who are able to commit to regular shifts – mainly weekdays but occasionally evenings and Saturdays.

All positions are casual and are dependent on the funding available to that family. Generally funding is provided in a block of three to four months or longer for families with NDIS funding. Our goal is to provide continuity of care with staff familiar to the family. 

Our clients are all children – including babies and toddlers. All have complex care needs which may include palliative and end of life care.
