Our trusted aged care service provides a diverse range of support through a dedicated and growing team.
Supplying personal care and development along with household and shopping is all in a day's work, which doesn't feel like work for some.
David, a Community Care Worker with 14 years of experience, finds the job incredibly rewarding.
"I make my living helping and looking after people, and it's a really nice way to spend your days," he said.
"All you need is patience, enjoy being active in your work, and above all be friendly - that's a must."
If you're considering a career in aged care, some roles don't require specific qualifications, while others require a Certificate 111 level qualification.
You can enjoy a rewarding career that offers permanent job security and flexible work hours, as Benjaree has found since joining Bayside Care and Support at the end of last year.
With a previous work history that included aged care and private cleaning, she has used these skills in her new Community Care worker role.
"I meet new people with different needs and style, listen to their stories and help them with whatever they need on that day, which brings me so much joy to me," she said.
"The best part is I have work flexibility and can enjoy working out of regular hours like afternoons and evenings if needed. It is an autonomous job, and every day is different."
Bayside provides on the job training for new team members, which includes a 'buddy' system with experienced staff.
"We are very well supported by Council. We do our job providing excellent care and Council supports us very well to do it," David said.
