The Opportunity
At Infinite Care, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide an environment that encourages and enables residents to remain independent. Our Care Assistants are impactful, resident-centric, and play a key role in helping us achieve this at our Aged Care Tweed Heads - Nursing Home | Infinite Care .
Supported by the clinical, lifestyle, and hospitality teams, you will work with limited direct supervision and be responsible for delivering resident-centric care in a timely and compassionate manner, enabling residents to make choices and have control over their support needs.
About You

* Have a passion for making a difference to the elderly by being their personal carer in a positive manner, ensuring privacy and dignity are respected at all times, including building positive relationships with their families.
