Are you a caring, honest person, with good practical skills and a friendly and cheerful disposition?
We are looking for reliable, dedicated and compassionate staff to join our team in Launceston.
Would you enjoy visiting service users in their own homes to ensure they get the helping hand and care they need? If you have previous experience within a healthcare capacity or are looking for a change of career, you may be just the person we are looking for – being a carer can be a very rewarding role.
New to care?
Don’t worry! As long as you have a genuine passion for caring or the desire to understand how important this role is to the daily lives of those you care for, you’ll be fine. You must be a team player, that’s key, but equally able to work on your own initiative.
Experienced and trainee carers alike, we can provide career development and support to ensure you reach your potential. Don’t hesitate, apply today.
