  • Attending appointments or social activities
  • Medication support
    • Assisting with mobility (including hoists where required)


Why work with CPL?

  • Award conditions and hourly rate that reflect experience
  • Paid training & ongoing development (no experience needed to get started)
  • Great opportunities for career growth and development across roles
  • Salary packaging up to $15,900 per year (for part-time employees)
    • Work as part of a supportive and person-centred team


Shifts available

Shifts are available across a variety of times, and we will work with you to build a permanent roster that suits your availability.

We welcome applications from anyone interested, especially those available for:

  • Early mornings (from 6am)
  • Overnight/sleepover shifts



What you’ll need

  • A passion for people and a focus on great customer service
  • A commitment to working together to deliver great outcomes
  • Great listening and respectful communication skills
  • Current First Aid & CPR certificates (or willing to obtain)
  • Blue Card & NDIS Worker Screening Check (we can help you get these)
  • Driver’s licence and/or reliable transport
