Community Care Worker

Community Care Workers work at nursing homes, aged care facilities, rehabilitation units, adult care and group homes. They provide children and adults who cannot live independently with personal services.

As a Community Care Worker you could be doing anything from showering, dressing, and feeding your clients — to liaising with immediate family members and keeping them informed of progress and life events. Developing a close relationship with your clients (as well as their families) is key to your role.
