Imagine starting your day knowing you’ll help create moments that brighten someone’s life – whether its laughter over a game of cards, the smell of fresh baking from a cooking class, or a calm and thoughtful afternoon of chess and conversation.

As our Lifestyle Assistant, you’ll have the freedom to get creative and truly personalise each day. You’ll get to know who lights up when they hear opera music, who can’t be beaten at cards, who has a lifelong love of horses, and who quietly beams when their favourite movie genre comes on. Your job is to design days and activities around those discoveries which could include a range of events from Bingo, movie marathons, happy hour, cooking days, art workshops or even starting a book club.

This role could also be perfect for someone who may not be working in this exact role, but working in Aged care as a Care Assistant looking to develop their career further.

A day on the job will see you:

Build genuine relationships with residents and supporting their emotional, social and cultural wellbeing.

Develop, plan, set up and deliver lifestyle programs and group activities

Support residents one on one to participate in the things they love.

Noticing and reporting any changes in behaviour or care needs

Helping manage activity resources and funds, and occasionally heading out
