About the Role

Working in home care is more than just a job — it’s the chance to make a real difference in someone’s everyday life. At Respect, our Independence at Home services help older Australians remain safe, comfortable, and connected in the place they value most — their own home.

From assisting with daily living and social engagement to supporting clinical and nursing care, every interaction matters. Join a compassionate, reliable team where your work truly impacts lives and every day feels purposeful.

• Complete regular care plan reviews, reassessments, and updates in line with Support at Home requirements and changes in participant needs.
• Coordinate referrals and collaborate with clinical staff, allied health, and community services to support holistic participant outcomes.
• Manage care transitions, including restorative, palliative, and end-of-life pathways, ensuring clear communication and continuity of care across teams.
• Oversee service coordination, participant budgets, and workforce scheduling alignment to ensure safe, consistent, and compliant service delivery.
