SalaryABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Civic offers a 24/7 service to our clientele. That means you might work mornings, afternoons, evenings and overnight. The hours vary, so you will have the ability to work a range of hours between 14-74 per fortnight. You will be provided 1 site, so you can really get to know the clients and what they have to offer.
We have multiple opportunities for new employees to join our team. These opportunities are suitable for individuals with disability worker experience as well as aged-care/nursing backgrounds. Our clients have a wide variety of support requirements which differ between our accommodation sites with some requiring individuals with aged care/nursing skills and experience due to varying client needs.
If you come from a nursing, paramedic, or aged care background we would encourage you to apply, even if you are in your final year of studies! The clients will also need your support to get around, so a valid NSW driver’s licence is essential!
ABOUT YOU
You love working with people with a disability to support them to reach their full potential. Your experience in the heath, disability or aged care fields has provided you with the necessary skills to support those around you. Your knowledge and understanding of the aged care and disability sector is strong and enjoy variety and flexibility in your job.
We are looking for applicants who exhibit the following:
- At least 1-2 years experience in disability, aged care, nursing or similar fields is key.
- A passion for working with people who have a disability is crucial.
- Experience supporting those with behaviours that challange and high complex needs (or the passion and desire to do so).
- Experience in the delivery of care outcomes for older people and/or people with disability.
- Exceptional listening, reading and communication skills, with the ability to recognise and interpret non-verbal cues.
- A collaborative and supportive approach in all you do.
- A detailed and thorough approach to record keeping.
