Personal Care Worker

Do you enjoy helping people and making a genuine difference in their day-to-day lives?

Are you looking for meaningful work where you can build trusted relationships with older people and support them to remain living independently in their own homes?

If you’re caring, reliable and enjoy connecting with people, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for Personal Care Workers to join our BaptistCare in Home team in Mansfield and surrounding communities, with the flexibility to work hours that suit your lifestyle.

As a Personal Care Support Worker with BaptistCare, you’ll support older people in their own homes across Mansfield and the surrounding areas.

Every day is different. You might help with household tasks, showering and dressing, meal preparation, continence support, medication assistance or transport to appointments and local activities.

Just as importantly, you’ll provide companionship, conversation, and a friendly face.

In a rural community, those connections matter. You’ll get to know your clients, understand what is important to them and support them to continue living safely and independently in the place they call home.

• A comprehensive orientation program, including buddy shifts
• Direct access to a dedicated supervisor when you need advice or support
• Ongoing training through our dedicated Learning & Development team
• Opportunities to develop your skills and explore career pathways within BaptistCare
• A friendly and supportive team that values the work you do

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who genuinely cares about people.

You’ll bring:

• Current unrestricted Australian Driver Licence with minimum Third-Party Property Damage Insurance to transport clients
• Completed Certificate III in aged care or Individual support or above.
• Current valid Level II First Aid Certificate
• You will be a proficient user of smartphone technology, apps and email
• A warm, respectful, and caring approach
• Patience, resilience, and the ability to work independently
• Good communication skills and a willingness to build genuine relationships with client
