Who are we?

Wintringham is a specialist not-for-profit company providing an extensive range of aged care, housing and related support services to elderly men and women who come from a homeless background. With annual revenue of $51 million, we employ over 600 staff and operate from multiple offices in Melbourne and regional Victoria. Wintringham is a major provider of home care in Victoria, managing approximately 700 home care packages.

Your new role

Wintringham is seeking motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join our Rostering Team on a casual basis. This role will be based at either Lyndell White House (Coburg) or Southern Peninsula Community Housing & Support (Keysborough). This fast-paced and dynamic role will see you liaising with our management team, Wintringham staff and Wintringham clients to provide a high-level service of care in the community. This role will also be assisting our residential facilities to access a casual pool of staff to provide relief for vacant shifts.

• Coordinating rosters around sick and annual leave
