At Wangaratta City Council, we’re seeking dedicated and compassionate Domestic Care Workers to support older people, people living with disabilities, and their carers to live independently, safely, and confidently in their own homes and communities.

This is more than a job — it’s your opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of people who need it most.

About the Role

As a Domestic Care Worker, you’ll deliver high-quality, person-centred support based on individual service plans. You’ll play a crucial role in maintaining your clients’ independence and quality of life by assisting with daily household tasks such as:

Dishwashing, mopping, vacuuming, and general home cleaning

Changing bed linen, laundry, and ironing

Unaccompanied shopping trips

Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms

You’ll also monitor client well-being and morale, supporting a wellness and reablement approach that encourages independence and skill-building.

Why This Role is So Important

You’re not just helping around the house — you’re providing emotional support, noticing changes in health or circumstances, and being a trusted, consistent presence. You’ll often work independently but are always backed by a caring, supportive team.

Your work ensures that clients:

Stay connected to their homes and communities

Remain safe, comfortable, and empowered

Receive care with dignity, respect, and professionalism

What You’ll Need

We’re looking for someone who is:

Compassionate and respectful, with a strong understanding of privacy and dignity

Physically capable and experienced in domestic support tasks

Organised and reliable, with strong time-management skills

Comfortable working autonomously and making sound decisions

Skilled in monitoring and reporting changes in client well-being

Essential requirements include:

A current driver licence and reliable, registered, and insured vehicle

Willingness to undergo a Police Record Check

Relevant immunisation and vaccination status

Good availability on weekdays, and flexibility for some evening/weekend work

Experience in aged or disability care, while not essential, is highly desirable.

What You’ll Gain

A rewarding role in a values-driven organisation that truly supports its staff

Ongoing training, support, and opportunities to grow

The satisfaction of knowing your work makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives

Flexibility, variety, and autonomy in your day-to-day work
