Maintenance Crew and General Trades Person

Full Time | Oaklea Hall Aged Care + Cheltenham Manor Aged Care | Melbourne

$70,000 + Super + Travel Allowance

Join a hands on team where your trade skills directly improve daily life for older Australians.

About Us

Medical & Aged Care Group (MACG) is a family owned and operated aged care provider, operating since 1995. We're built on relationships and family values, and we believe the look, feel and comfort of our homes matter just as much as the care within them.

Our Maintenance

Team makes that possible.

About The Role

We're looking for a hands on, proactive Maintenance and General Trades Person to join our team across two of our homes, Oaklea Hall Aged Care located in Hughesdale and Cheltenham Manor Aged Care located in Cheltenham.

Oaklea Hall is a 46-bed residential aged care home nestled in Melbourne's inner southeast, known for its warm, close knit community and dedicated care team.

Cheltenham

Manor is a 155-bed home situated in the heart of Cheltenham, providing a welcoming and homelike environment for residents and their families.

Across both homes, you'll spend most of your time on room refurbishments, painting and general repairs, helping keep our homes bright, safe and welcoming for residents, families and staff. You'll occasionally be called on to support our other homes when needed, with a travel allowance provided.

You'll work alongside our Home Managers and a supportive maintenance and operations team. It's a genuinely varied role where no two days look the same and there's always meaningful work to get stuck into.
