Good food matters. So does the person serving it.

At UPA, mealtimes are more than another task on the roster. They’re a chance for residents to enjoy good food, have a chat and feel at home.

We’re building a casual pool of Food Services Assistants to support our residential aged‑care homes across Bracken House, Dubbothroughout Christmas, Recent Year and beyond.

If you’re looking for extra shifts, adaptable work around your other commitments or a possible pathway into permanent employment, this could be a great fit.

WHY THIS CASUAL ROLE IS DIFFERENT

These are direct UPA employment opportunities not agency placements. You won’t just be another name filling a shift, you’ll be a UPA employee and part of the team from day one.

You’ll receive a proper UPA induction, ongoing workplace support and the chance to work with familiar residents, teams and homes rather than starting from scratch every shift.

It’s the flexibility of casual work, with real connection and support, and the potential to move into ongoing or permanent employment when opportunities become available.

What you’ll receive
Flexible shifts matched to your availability where possible




Competitive casual rates, including applicable loadings and penalty rates
Opportunities for additional work over Christmas, New Year and beyond
Proper UPA induction, training and workplace support
The chance to work with familiar residents, employees and homes
Access to our Employee Assistance Program and wellbeing support
The chance to be considered for permanent roles when suitable vacancies become available

Preparing dining rooms and meal-service areas
Plating, serving and clearing meals
Assisting with basic food preparation
Washing dishes and keeping kitchen areas clean
Following food-safety, hygiene and infection-control requirements
Supporting cooks and other members of the food-services team
