About the Role
The role of the personal carer is all about
enriching daily life
for our residents. You'll lead and inspire activities that spark joy, connection, and purpose—while also providing hands-on support to a caring team as the needs of our residents evolve.
This is not your typical carer role.
You'll have the chance to make a real impact, championing dignity, independence, and creativity for residents in a supportive, secure environment.
What You'll Do
Assist in small group and one-on-one activities
—craft, games, baking, music, beauty therapy, gentle movement, scenic drives, and more.
Accompany residents
to broader Odyssey Lifestyle events and social gatherings, supporting their independence and sense of belonging.
Document daily activities and resident responses
, adapting your approach to reflect each individual's preferences, mood, and abilities.
Support with personal care
(toileting, transfers, mobility and assisting with meals), ensuring residents always feel safe and supported.
Escort residents to the main restaurant
or community events, and appointments helping them stay connected with friends and the wider Odyssey community.
Facilitate medication prompts
to residents managing their own medications
Manage your own scheduled
residents using state of the art systems
Roster & Team Structure
Looking for reliable casual staff that can work across AM, PM or Nightshift with flexible shift rostering and personal scheduling preferences within a rostering app

Experience working in aged care, dementia care, or community settings
Warm, empathetic, person-centred approach—genuine passion for meaningful engagement and creative activities
