ACA is looking for professional, reliable and compassionate people to join a paid Aged Care Traineeship across Adelaide's inner-south, coastal and southern suburbs.
You don't need previous aged care experience, but you do need to bring the right attitude, work ethic and transferable skills.

What will you actually be doing?
You'll work in Home Community Care,



supporting older Australians to remain independent and continue living safely in their own homes.
Your day might include: Providing companionship and social support Helping clients with everyday activities Supporting clients in their homes and communities Building positive, respectful relationships Working alongside a wider care team Unlike residential aged care, you'll travel between clients' homes, so every day can be a little different.
