Domestic Assistant

You are looking for a job being part of a positive team making an important difference for others. Your role as a cleaning and laundry assistant is more than you might think: you are essential in creating a comfortable home for our residents and a great working environment for your colleagues.

You see the importance in looking beyond the tasks and nurturing relationships. You will be rewarded with learning about and becoming a part of the rich life stories of older Australians and you will enjoy new friendships with people who are passionate about what they do.

Your understanding of Infection Control and Safe Work Practices, having current Influenza and COVID Vaccinations and a current NDIS Worker Check (or your willingness to obtain these) will be important ways you can maintain and improve the wellbeing of our residents.

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

We are hoping you will join our fantastic Whiddon family at Maclean in the Northern Rivers region, on a casual basis.
