⭐ About the role

This is a varied, hands-on role where you'll be the main contact for your own group of aged care clients. You'll start by taking on our first group of around 30 Support at Home clients. You'll combine nursing visits with care planning and coordination, so you see each client's whole picture, not just one part of it.

- Confidence with assessments, care planning and case management
- A warm, organised approach and the ability to work independently

⭐ Nice to have
