We are hiring! 

We are looking for passionate, honest, reliable individuals to be part of our team. We care about our staff and work hard to create a professional, yet nurturing and supportive environment to embed best practices. If this culture aligns with your values, you are the right fit! Make a difference by enabling people we support to have a voice, personal choice and independence.

In this current recruitment, our priority is to employ 3 permanent part-time employees who will work active overnight shifts (awakes) in one of our high-intensity Clinical Care homes.

This role may suit students who are currently studying nursing or other aligned professions. It may also suit a parent who needs to be home in the mornings for school drop off and the evenings for family meals etc.
