  • Providing social support and transport to lifestyle activities
  • Personal care (once trained) including getting them up, showered and dressed for the day, medication management, assisting with mobility and therapy goals
  • Providing respite and emotional support
  • Social support and transport to appointments
  • Providing complex care for customers with high care needs, such as dementia

Why KinCare?

  • We’re committed to improving the quality of life and wellbeing for our customers through tailored in-home care services.
  • Flexible hours close to home as a casual employee.
  • Your well-being is our priority! You can’t care for others if you don’t look after yourself.

  • You care about assisting our aged community so they can live independently at home for longer.
  • You have a current P1 class or above Australian Drivers License and a registered vehicle – travel is part of the role.
  • You don’t sweat the small stuff; sometimes your customer will be having a bad day or traffic delays you. You know not to take this personally and to shake it off before your next customer.
  • You're available to work at least 3 days - Monday - Friday. No night or weekend work here.
  • You're comfortable working independently and finding solutions to everyday problems, knowing when to ask your Manager for help.
