There to Care. Here for Good

Aged care is so important. Some people forget that. You don’t and neither do we. Because helping people is what we were born to do. We’ve been a leading provider of aged care in communities across South Australia since 1953. That’s a long journey, and we’re proud of our stability and strength.

Now, we’re on a mission to continue to grow and improve our services and impact, hand in hand with our fantastic team. Here, every moment matters and every client counts. And so do you.

Join us as a Home Care Worker and be there to care.

A brighter future with Helping Hand, for older people and for you.

Based in regional South Australia, as our invaluable Home Care Worker, you will deliver high-quality personal care to Helping Hand clients living in their own homes. Each day is unique in this varied role and there may be breaks in shifts depending on client requirements. While you will mostly be working independently, you’ll be supported by a team of coordinators, administrators and other Helping Hand staff.

You’ll also make an impact by:

  • Supporting clients to live in their homes by helping out with household chores
  • Staying aware of changes to a client’s health and emotional wellbeing, and advising a Helping Hand Coordinator
  • Maintaining a friendly, professional and positive manner when representing Helping Hand in the community
  • Delivering social support by engaging meaningfully with clients in each interaction

What you’ll bring

To succeed in this role, you will have:

  • Current First Aid and CPR Certificate (or be willing to obtain one)
  • Certificate III in Individual Support or Aged Care
  • Current Australian driver licence P2's Minimum
  • A registered, well-maintained, reliable and insured vehicle
  • Good communication skills, including the ability to speak and write clearly and accurately
  • Ability to operate smartphones and apps (such as Microsoft Outlook)
  • Have a valid NDIS Worker Screening clearance or be willing to obtain one.

You’ll stand out from the crowd if you have some of the following:

  • Previous experience in the delivery of personal care in a community setting
  • Demonstrated ability to make decisions, take initiative and work independently

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
