- Maintain accurate records and complete required documentation.
- Communicate respectfully with residents, clients, families, employees and other members of the community.
- Work cooperatively with the Housekeeping, Community Care and broader K-Life teams.

About You

You will be dependable, respectful and able to work both independently and as part of a team. You will take pride in providing consistent, high-quality cleaning and be comfortable working in the personal living spaces of older people.

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

- Previous experience in commercial, health, aged care, community or domestic cleaning.

- A current Australian driver’s licence and access to a reliable, registered and insured vehicle for community-based work.

Experience in aged care or community services will be highly regarded; however, applicants with the right attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are encouraged to apply.

The successful applicant will be required to obtain and maintain relevant employment screening checks and provide evidence of any mandatory role requirements before commencing.

Why Join K-Life?
