Fix Things. Grow Things. Be a Legend.
Remember that neighbour who always knew how to fix anything? The one who could coax life back into a struggling garden and make a squeaky door silent with just the right touch? That's the kind of person we're looking for. We want a local person living in the Adelaide area to help keep homes safe, gardens thriving, and spirits high for older people in your community.
At My Choice Care, your day might look like:
· Fixing Albert's screen door, and he tells you about the time he built his entire back deck by hand in 1972.
· Mowing Margaret's lawn, as she watches from the porch and shares stories about her prize-winning roses
· Changing Bob's smoke alarm battery and testing it, knowing he'll sleep soundly with that extra peace of mind.
· Clearing Joan's gutters and she insists on making you a cuppa, just like she did for the tradesmen who built her home fifty years ago.
As a Senior Handyman/Gardener, your job is to help our clients stay safe, comfortable, and connected to the homes and gardens they love. Services are restricted to light gardening and maintenance tasks only. Each day will be an adventure as you travel from one home to another, solving problems and nurturing growth.
What Makes Our Senior Handyman/Gardener Special:
· Skills across a range of general trades and gardening tasks
· The wisdom to know when a job needs a licensed professional
· A patient, reassuring manner that puts clients at ease
· Availability for part-time hours, with potential for full-time as the service grows
· Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail
· The ability to guide and mentor a junior staff member
· A genuine respect for older people's homes, routines, and independence
What We Offer:
· Flexible part-time hours with the possibility of full-time opportunities
· Provision of equipment, vehicles, and allowances
· A supportive team (because the best work is never done alone)
· Salary Packaging - decreasing your tax and increasing your take-home pay
· The chance to use your skills where they matter most
Before you join our team, you'll need to have:
· Demonstrated experience in general maintenance, repairs, and gardening
· Trade qualifications or extensive practical experience (we value both formal training and years of hands-on knowledge)
· A current driver's license
· Current First Aid Certificate (we can assist you with this)
