  We do not employ overseas residents who require us to sponsor them. Plus, it is illegal to work for a second employer when you are already sponsored on a 457 Visa.

  Our clients want consistency of Caregivers. They enjoy building relationships with our Caregivers, therefore we prefer employees who are here for the long term.

• I have sufficient paid aged care experience, including caring for people living with forgetfulness, memory loss/dementia, plus showering and toileting (personal care).

  Hourly Services	Paid or unpaid aged care experience welcome. We are currently recruiting mature people who have cared beautifully for their family, to do domestic assistance and meal preparation work while we train them in personal care and dementia. You may receive 5 days paid training dependant on experience. This is a limited opportunity.
  Live In care	4+ years living in a client’s home.

• I am presentable, well spoken with an excellent command of English.

  Our clients want to be cared for by Caregivers who speak English clearly so communication is easy and stress free.

• I am looking for Live In Care work and live within NSW or South East Queensland and I have 4+ years of experience as a Live In Carer.

• I have excellent references

  You must have 2-3 independent professional people who can confirm your work experience and character.

• I am eager to work and can work flexible hours during the day, night and/or weekends.

  We provide a wide variety of services so we need Caregivers who are flexible to fulfil a wide variety of roles.

  Hourly Services (2 hour minimum)	We have over 200 Caregivers and most like to work on weekends due to the penalty rates we offer. We do not employ people who only want to work higher paying hours as we like to spread the love.
  Live In care Services	If you only want to work weekends that’s perfect, but at least a minimum of 3 days per week.

• I have no experience as a paid Caregiver however,

• I am willing to undertake domestic assistance and meal preparation services while I undertake my training to be a Caregiver.
• I have unpaid aged care experience.
• My English is excellent.
• I am highly presentable.
• I possess uncommon common sense.

• I have extensive experience caring for older people in their home or a Nursing Home – to work in Live-In Care
  Our clients have chosen us because we are a premium service provider, so they want Caregivers with extensive experience caring for older people in their home or a Nursing Home.

  You really can’t be an ‘experienced Caregiver’ and unable to provide assistance in personal care. The best advice we can give you is to work in a Nursing Home for 3-5 years and become really proficient in providing personal care.

• I hold a Cert III in Individual Support (Ageing, Home and Community)

  OR a Certificate IV in Disabilities

  OR I am prepared to undertake a Certificate III within 3 years of my employment with Daughterly Care

  (OR you are older with decades of care work experience in which case we understand it is offensive to MAKE you do a Certificate III when you are so experienced…don’t worry, with us, your actual work experience matters far more than a Certificate III…we won’t make you undertake a Certificate III).

• I have a reliable road worthy car that has air-conditioning and is easy for older people to get in and out of, as it is not too high off the ground.
  Our clients require our Caregivers or Live in Carers to take them to appointments, shopping and outings, so you must have a car.

• I have the ability to relate to people from all walks of life and have a genuine compassion for older people.

• I have a mobile phone and am able to send and receive SMS/Text messages.
  If we can’t get quick answers to job offers – it just won’t work.

• I am fit and enjoy good health for my age.

• I hold a current First Aid Certificate (if you don’t have a First Aid Certificate you must be willing to complete one within 3 months of employment.).
