About the Role
The Aged Care system is complex, and some people find it more difficult than others to navigate and access the services they need. While My Aged Care is the single-entry point for people to find out about and access aged care services, there have been long-standing calls for more localised and face-to-face support to help people to navigate and access Aged Care. The Care Finder program was announced in the 2021-22 Budget as part of the Connecting Senior Australians to Aged Care Services measure.
Care Finders provide specialist and intensive assistance to help people to understand and access aged care and connect with other relevant supports in the community, specifically targeting people who have one or more reasons for requiring intensive support to interact with My Aged Care (either through the website, contact centre or face-to-face in Services Australia service centres), access Aged Care services and/or access other relevant supports in the community.
Candidates with experience and/or relevant qualifications in Social Work, Human Services, or Aged Care are encouraged to apply.
FocusOne Health offers a supportive environment, working with a team of mental health professionals and organisational specialists to support your development. Access to significant Professional Development opportunities is available, including support to obtain accreditations for your profession, if relevant.
We are committed to achieving a diverse workforce and strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The successful applicant will be remunerated in accordance with FocusOne Health’s EBA dependent on skills, experience, and qualifications. We offer flexible terms and conditions and attractive salary packaging arrangements. For more information about salary packaging, please visit Community Business Bureau (cbb.com.au).
