Care Service Employee

Personal Carer | Aged Care | Mt Terry

You are their smile. Their joy. Their morning walks, and tea-time talks.

Their keeper of stories; of moments and memories. The dignity they deserve. Community they belong to. And family to come home to.

You are their kindness. Compassion. Empathy. And understanding.

The difference in their lives.

You deserve every opportunity to be recognised, supported and challenged to fulfill your role in the world. But what does this look like?

The opportunity | Valued for the impact you make
It takes a unique person to care the way you do. We see it, our managers see it, and our residents, customers and their families see it. Within this community, you are valued for the impact you make and thanked for your selfless care.

Day to day, you’ll help older people live with dignity, whether that’s helping them get around, go to the bathroom, take a shower, or enjoy a meal with a friendly face – in line with their personalised care plan. You will help them celebrate life with community-based fun and social activities and bring them a sense of belonging in so doing.

With our high standards in clinical and compassionate care, you will have the space to innovate and excel, doing work you are proud of.

The benefits | Recognising the difference you make

• A Certificate III in Aged Care/Individual Support
• An empathy for older people and commitment to meeting their needs
• 12 months experience delivering exceptional customer service within the Aged Care industry
• Strong interpersonal and communication skill
• Must be able to work night shift and weekends

The location| A home to belong to
At our Mount Terry Residential Aged Care Home, we offer 151 well-designed suites. These spaces are thoughtfully rafted to provide you with the freedom to enjoy your personal time, connect with others, and welcome visitors. Our home boasts a warm, welcoming environment, where every detail is meant to help you feel at ease and be yourself. You’ll have access to beautiful courtyards and terraces, complete with outdoor gazebos to bask in the sunshine. Plus, we provide a variety of shared interest groups and activities to keep life engaging.

What our carers love about working here
Better life balance: We respect your life outside of your job, and work with you to design schedules that help you plan your study, family, and personal commitments around better, steadier rosters.

Who we are | A community who cares
Warrigal has firmly established itself in the aged care community for over 60 years. Despite the diverse range of retirement living and aged care services we’ve built up in that time, we still have the same appetite to grow and innovate. Meaning, you’ll have the chance to move around, get promoted or explore different areas across our expanding business in Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Queanbeyan, and Canberra – if that’s what you want.

You are the difference | Create a meaningful legacy
At Warrigal, you’re not just doing care work. You’re shaping a society that respects and celebrates ageing, connects families, and frees up their time to create treasured, lasting memories. You’re creating a culture of kindness, compassion and understanding that can be passed down to future generations. Let this be your legacy.
