Wellbeing Carer: Where your passion for enriching lives meets endless possibilities 

Do you thrive on creating joy and connection? Are you a natural at bringing people together and helping them discover their passions? 

If so, then we want YOU to join our vibrant team as a Wellbeing Carer at Bupa Cairns! 

About the Home  

Our modern Berwick care home set in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, in Narre Warren, 45 minutes from Melbourne's CBD and close to the Lysterfield Lake and Wilson Botanical Gardens.  It consists of 120 beds, across 2 wings with respite and dementia care units. Our primary goal is placing our focus on the health, lifestyle and well-being of our residents.

Here's what you'll do: 

• Be the fun facilitator: You'll help residents explore their interests, both within the care home and beyond. From art classes and gardening clubs to day trips and movie nights, you'll make sure there's something for everyone.
• Catering crewmate: You'll lend a hand with plating and serving meals, adhering to food safety standards and monitoring resident preferences.
• Hygiene hero: Keeping things clean and safe is essential. You'll follow infection control protocols and maintain a tidy environment.
• Social butterfly extraordinaire: Whether it's a lively game of bingo or a quiet chat over afternoon tea, you'll be the friendly face who connects residents and fosters a sense of belonging.
• More than just activities: You'll be a supportive companion, assisting with daily living like mealtimes and outings, and offering emotional support to those with cognitive impairment or mental health needs.
• Resident champion: Your voice matters! You'll gather feedback through surveys and family conferences to ensure activities truly hit the mark.
• Team player: You'll collaborate with the Lifestyle Coordinator and care team to plan activities, document progress, and escalate any concerns. 

What we're looking for: 

• A heart of gold: Your passion for enriching lives is the most important qualification!
• Can-do spirit: You're flexible, adaptable, and always up for a challenge.
• Creative spark: You're brimming with ideas to make every day an adventure.
• Excellent communication: You connect easily with residents and colleagues, building trust and rapport.
• Team player: You collaborate effectively and support others with a smile.

• Previous experience in caring for elders within an Aged Care or community setting is essential. 
• Current Certificate III in Leisure and Lifestyle or Individual Support or willingness to complete 
• First Aid Certificate (or willing to get one)
• Australian driver's licence
