• Support individual wellbeing through emotional, spiritual, and one-on-one support
• Collaborate with families, staff, and external partners to enhance resident experience
• Assist in the development and review of individual wellbeing care plans
• Contribute to ongoing quality improvement and resident satisfaction

• Positive, self-motivated, and organised
• A natural communicator with empathy and a genuine love for working with people
• Creative in finding new ways to connect, engage, and inspire
• Committed to providing person-centred care with professionalism and heart

• Certificate IV in Leisure & Health or Allied Health Assistance
• Knowledge of Aged Care Quality Standards and continuous improvement principles
• Experience in a residential aged care or wellbeing/lifestyle role
• Current Police Check and working rights in Australia
