Aged Care Team Leader

An Aged Care Team Leader supervises and coordinates the delivery of care services to elderly clients in residential or community settings. You might work in aged care facilities, nursing homes, or home care services. Aged Care Team Leaders ensure that clients receive personalised support, promoting their dignity, independence, and quality of life. You’ll manage a team of carers, oversee care plans, and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Aged Care Team Leaders play a crucial role in enhancing the well-being of older Australians. You’ll need strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills, alongside a genuine compassion for the elderly. You’ll collaborate with families and healthcare professionals to provide holistic care tailored to individual needs.
