- Cleaning common areas
- Maintaining accurate written records in all areas

ABOUT YOU
You are warm and friendly and enjoy meeting people and building relationships. You have a natural empathy towards older people as demonstrated in similar roles, or perhaps you have enjoyed a rewarding personal experience with an older relative or friend.

What does a typical shift look like?
During a typical day-time shift you would be assisting with the meal service in our on-site restaurant (table service, meal delivery to units), dusting and vacuuming public areas, maintaining indoor plants and the various first aid kits. In addition to this, the night-time shift also secures the community areas of an evening in conjunction with the security contractor.
Of course, you will also be the first responder to any resident alarm that is activated. Although most calls are related to minor issues, you will occasionally have to apply your first aid skills where a resident has fallen and injured themselves.
Our Benefits:
