You'll use your own reliable vehicle to travel between customer homes and assist with transporting customers within the community when required.
n We have multiple casual opportunities available across the Sunshine Coast region and are particularly interested in hearing from applicants based in our northern and central Sunshine Coast communities.

n

While shifts are offered based on customer needs, we're ideally seeking team members who can provide availability Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 5:00pm.

n

Belonging Starts Here
n We believe real care starts with real belonging. That means creating a workplace where everyone - no matter their background, culture, or story - feels seen, respected, and safe to be themselves.

n

We welcome applications from First Nations people, the LGBTIQA+ community, people with disabilities, and those from culturally diverse backgrounds. Your story matters here.

n

Ready to Make a Difference?
n If you're looking for flexible work that fits your lifestyle, offers rewarding connections and allows you to make a genuine difference in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.

n

Join Suncare and build a career with heart.

We proudly work across the lands of the Gubbi Gubbi (Gub-bee Gub-bee), Turrbal, Yuggera, Darumbal, Butchulla (Batjala) & Taribelang Bunda peoples, and extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We are committed to creating a culturally safe, inclusive and welcoming workplace for all.
