Why this is worth applying to
Only worth considering if you want casual direct aged-care work in the Cummins/Eyre Peninsula area. It is not a strong stepping stone for clinicians seeking non-clinical career transition.
Who should apply
Local entry-level aged-care workers, nursing/allied health students or graduates seeking casual direct-care experience, and clinicians wanting short-term locum-style aged-care support work.
CV angle

- Mobility and transfer assistance
- Resident observation and reporting
- Care documentation
- Person-centred communication
- Multidisciplinary teamwork
