Some people see a day program. You see the moment someone’s whole day lights up.

Our Day Respite Centre is where clients come for company, activity and valuable care, and families get a well earned break. We need Personal Care Assistants with the patience to meet every client where they are, the confidence to stay calm when the day takes a turn, and a big heart.

This is not a clock in, clock out role. It’s about creating meaningful moments and bringing smiles to faces. That difference is yours to make.

What your days look like

- Personal care with dignity. Help with toileting, mobility and personal care, with respect every time.

- Mealtimes done well. Manage dietary requirements and provide feeding assistance safely.

- Activities with heart. Plan and run activities that keep clients stimulated, involved and entertained.

- Calm in the moment. Use redirection and respond calmly and confidently to challenging behaviours.

- Room to recharge. Recognise when a client needs a quieter moment to relax and recharge.

Skills get you shortlisted. Your style gets you hired.

We care as much about how you care as what you know. You’ll probably be the person who:

- Shows up with patience and understanding, every day.

- Shares the credit and works well alone or as part of the team.

- Reads the room and knows when to redirect,



when to wait and when to ask for help.

- Brings the fun, isn’t afraid to be a little silly, and knows when to be calm.

- Remembers each client’s favourite song, story and snack.

- Follows through on care plans, handovers and the small promises.

What you’ll bring

- A Certificate III in Individual Support, Ageing or Disability.

- A satisfactory traffic history and First Aid & CPR certificate will be required

- Experience working with clients who have complex needs and behaviours.

Experience in day respite will be highly regarded.

What’s in it for you

Days full of music, laughter and people glad you walked in, plus a team that has your back. Fair warning: there will be dancing. Two left feet are welcome.

- Paid birthday leave

- Potential to transition to a permanent role

- Employee Assistance Program

No smoke. No mirrors. Just moments waiting to be made and the person ready to make them.

Now you see the day.

Now you see the smiles.

Now you see yourself making a little magic.

Apply with your CV and a short note about a time you made someone’s day. It can be from work or from life.
