Why KinCare?

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

  • Paid CPR and First Aid courses.

  • 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.
