Community Cleaner - Newcastle, Hunter & Maitland

You’re looking for a job which enables you to belong to a positive team whilst making a difference in the lives of others. Your role as a Community Cleaner is more than you might think: you’re essential in maintaining a comfortable and safe home for our clients, supporting their wellbeing, lifestyle and independence.

You see the importance in looking beyond the tasks, this is not just about doing a job but building and nurturing relationships. You’ll be rewarded with learning about and becoming a part of the rich life stories of older Australians and you’ll enjoy new friendships with people who are passionate about what they do.

In this role, you will provide hospitality services, such as cleaning, tidying, laundry or washing dishes. Following Client Care Plans,  documenting services provided and acting as an advocate will be important ways to maintain and improve the wellbeing of our clients.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, but more importantly, we’re like one big family and treat each of our residents, families, and team members with the same levels of passion, care, and respect.

We’re hoping you’ll join our fantastic Whiddon family at Redhead Community Services visiting clients within the Newcastle, Maitland & Hunter regions on a casual basis.
