Come and join Australia's most innovative and dynamic home health organisation!

About us
Hi there! We're Five Good Friends, and we're an approved aged care and registered NDIS service provider. We help our clients (we call them Members) live vibrantly in their own homes by wrapping a care team around them and their families. Our software coordinates in the background so our teams can do their best work. Our carers (we call the Helpers) play a key role in creating the magic for our members. Five Good Friends strives to form high-quality, long-lasting connections between Members and their Helpers.

About the Role
We are seeking a passionate Training Facilitator ideally with training qualifications (or relevant training experience) from the Community, Aged and Disability sector to join our Learning and Development team. Our L&D team analyses our training needs, develops learning activities we need and puts them into place. This results in learning for real-life care situations, in the real world: in people's homes.

Our teaching methods boost our workforce's morale by teaching them on a need-to-know and want-to-know basis, at the level of learning the support worker wants. Our work is meaningful, and the training problems we solve are interesting.

The core responsibilities of the role include:

Buddying new support workers during their home visits.

Teaching support workers online and face-to-face.

Assessing new support workers to ensure they provide safe, person-centered care.

Mentoring long-term support workers to up-skill.

Support the creation of educational and training resources.

Do you have what it takes?

Certificate IV in Ageing Support or Certificate IV in Disability Support or equivalent or higher

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or relevant experience teaching or instructing others.

Ideally the candidate will have experience in the community sector.

Have a National Disability Workers Screening Check or be willing to obtain.

Australian Driver’s License and own car (reimbursements for KMs).

Unlimited working rights in Australia.

A successful National police check, or willingness to apply.

What's in it for you?

The way we work and the perks we offer are designed to help you live a fulfilling life. The work we do is meaningful, and the problems we solve are interesting.

A competitive salary package that will recognise your skills and experience.

Flexible work options.

Annual $500 health and well-being allowance to spend on anything contributing to your health and well-being away from work.

On top of the standard 4 weeks of annual leave, after your second year, you will accumulate an additional day of annual leave each year you are with us. You will also have access to our Pandemic Leave policy and have the chance to purchase additional annual leave.

Access to our employee assistance programme, where you can receive free confidential and professional counselling.

Parental leave benefits –All caregivers who are eligible for the government’s paid parental leave scheme will receive top-up wage payments. Additionally, primary caregivers will receive top-up superannuation payments for their first year of unpaid parental leave.

One free Five Good Friends membership plan, which covers the Care Management fees. This can be used for a loved one who is supported by Five Good Friends. This could be worth more than $7000/yr.

Working for a company that has an employee engagement score that is 17% higher than the industry average, and 7% higher than the top 25% industry average (we are actually a great place to work).

And… after 5 years of continuous service, you will receive a trip to Okinawa, Japan - the community that inspired the creation of Five Good Friends. Costs of your return economy airfare, 5 nights in hotel accommodation and airport transfers will be paid.
