• Work autonomously and as part of a team to deliver high-quality support and innovative care solutions.

What We Need from You:

• Further education or ongoing training in Dementia Care, Gerontology, or Health & Aging is highly desirable.
• Expertise in supporting people living with dementia within Australian residential and community aged care settings.
• Proficiency in managing Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) and identifying triggers and unmet needs.
• Strong negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• A current Australian driver’s license and a willingness to travel regionally as needed.
• Empathy, patience, and a genuine passion for improving quality of life for those living with dementia.

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive remuneration with tax-free salary packaging options.
• Flexible hybrid work arrangements.
• Access to ongoing professional development and dementia-specific training.
