About the role

We are a private family seeking a reliable, warm in-home carer to support an elderly family member in our own home while we are at work. This is a direct engagement with us as your employer — not an agency placement — and you would be the sole carer present during rostered hours. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, with a one-hour unpaid meal break (37.5 hours per week). Our family member is comfortably independent for periods during the day, so the role includes natural quiet time. Part time options and/or a live-in arrangement with separate private accommodation is available and can be discussed — this is optional and is a separate arrangement to your wages.

Key responsibilities

- Companionship, conversation and general supervision throughout the day

- Assistance with personal care,



mobility and medication prompting

- Preparing meals and light household duties

- Accompanying the elderly to appointments (if applicable)

- Keeping us informed of any changes in well-being

About you

- Genuine care, patience and good judgement — lived or family caring experience is valued and formal qualifications are not essential

- Reliability and discretion in a private home

- Good spoken and written English

- Current driver's licence (preferred)

- Willingness to obtain a National Police Check and First Aid/CPR certificate (we will meet the cost)

- Unrestricted Australian work rights
