An award winning, Rainbow Tick accredited, aged care provider, Lifeview operates four homes in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs. We pride ourselves on not only the care of residents but also the creative and inspiring lifestyle programs we deliver - it’s all about overall quality of life.

This vision is upheld through our four L.I.F.E. Principles: Laugh, Integrity, Focus and Engage, which create our culture of social interaction, and enjoyment, within a warm and caring environment.

Lifeview provides a more relaxed and homely environment for residents through its relationship based model of care – Home2Home. Home2Home enables residents to choose what time they rise, have breakfast and get dressed, to what they want to do with their day. This model of care requires multi-skilled staff who are agile and willing to replace the rigid, task-centred structure of the average facility day, and where staff are encouraged to sit with residents to have a cup of tea and a chat or to organise activities around craft, cooking or anything residents are interested in doing.

We are looking for people with carer experience who are passionate about improving the quality of life of all residents and can help them to enjoy every day of their life. We would like to meet you if you are currently a carer or you were a carer for your loved one, as we value your commitment and sacrifice.

• Commit to an induction program and any other training requirements as required by the position
• Commit to working a number of shifts as dictated by the roster as a minimum
