At the heart of our business is our 1000+ carers that provide care across Victoria - from Gippsland to Melbourne, The Macedon Ranges, Bendigo, Shepparton, and Horsham.
We're looking for care workers in the Gippsland area to work in our Residential Home in Traralagon, or in our Home Care Service in post codes of your choosing.
WHAT YOU DO MATTERS
Caring for our elders matters. You touch the lives of those you care for and their families. At the same time, you cherish small moments and celebrate life stories.
But you need a team that cares for you! Part-time hours, regular shifts, or flexible work hours that suit your other commitments like study, grandchildren, or school drop-offs to help you do your best - at work and at home. It’s the reason you are here, the stories you have to tell, and the possibilities we can create together that matter. Whether you are an experienced carer, recently graduated, currently studying (a certificate), or not yet qualified. We’re here to support you.
RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE
Our residential aged care homes are just that, a home for our residents. You’ll work as part of a team of people and help with showering, dressing, simple cleaning, linen service, and meals. But you’ll also be there to spend time with residents, share stories, connect and show kindness and empathy.
We have regular part-time morning, afternoon and night shifts. If it suits you, weekends too. It can be a great learning environment if you’re new to the industry as you’ll be exposed to experienced carers and nursing staff.
COMMUNITY CARE
Supporting our elders in their homes means you are one–on–one with clients. You could drop in to help with personal care or domestic duties in the morning or evening. Or keep clients connected to their community through activities they love - like walking, gardening, going out for a coffee or lunch, and transporting them to appointments.
A typical day includes 2-4 client visits for 1-3 hours Monday to Friday.
WHY WORK WITH US?
not–for-profit salary packaging advantages to give you more money in your pocket
a mileage allowance when you travel between client homes
paid training hours to build your skills
digital devices to keep you connected and organised on the road
potential to move within Benetas so that your story with us continues
carer traineeships if you are not yet qualified
dedicated senior carers to help induct and mentor you
Not sure what salary packaging is? Put simply, a portion of your pay is deducted before tax to give you more take-home pay. Don’t worry, we use a salary packaging partner to guide you through this!
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
a genuine passion for caring for our elders
able to work independently and as part of a team
able to communicate and build rapport with clients in English (other languages can be helpful too)
Currently have or are studying a Cert III or higher in Individual Support or related studies (i.e. nursing)
respect for all, regardless of background, gender, age, religion, race, or sexual orientation
You will need to be vaccinated against flu, and have 3 doses of COVID.
Not yet qualified? Apply and we can speak to you about entry-level aged care traineeship.
To work in Residential Aged Care, you will need to supply an NDIS clearance. For Home Care, you will need a reliable car, insurance, a licence, and be able to pass a police check and First Aid and CPR Training. Don’t worry, we’ll only ask you for these when we need them.
We are growing and want you to grow with us. Our elders are more than just their age. They are our historians, storytellers, comedians, parents, siblings, and friends. And, they deserve the best care possible – you.
Applicants requiring a visa will need the appropriate visa to live and work in Australia. Benetas cannot provide sponsorship.
