This is a role that's all about people. One day you might be supporting clients to attend a social outing, community event or group activity. The next, you could be sharing stories over a coffee, helping someone build new connections or simply making their day a little brighter. You’ll be part driver, part companion and part cheerleader, helping clients get out and about safely while creating positive experiences and meaningful moments along the way. If you’re someone who enjoys meeting people, loves a good conversation and finds joy in helping others live life to the fullest, you’ll feel right at home.
Key responsibilities:
- Driving clients to and from event locations whilst always maintaining exceptional customer service
- Assisting clients socially on a one-on-one and group basis, including sitting and conversing with clients

What you'll bring:

- Minimum Certificate III qualification i.e., Individual Support, Aged Care, Community Services
- Current open Driver's License (Light Rigid is desirable, but not essential)
- Genuine empathy with elderly clients and a passion to work within the community service industry
