Make a meaningful difference with UnitingCare Community 

We’re looking for someone who wants to make the world a little better through small moments that leave big impacts. To build meaningful relationships and make a difference in the lives of others.

• Being flexible (able to work varied hours and days) and reliable to meet the needs of the people we support
• Able to effectively communicate in spoken and written English
• Experience working in the Disability, Aged and Community sector is ideal but not essential – as long as you have positive attitude and a willingness to learn
