Aged care jobs with hours to suit your lifestyle

When you’re qualified as an aged care worker, you can choose from a number of different positions. For example, you might work as a residential care worker in a clinic or facility. Or perhaps you will start a job as a home care assistant, taking care of older individuals within their own homes.

While some aged care jobs could stick to the classic hours of 9am – 5pm, there are many that offer flexible hours that could better suit your life and your needs.

Rosters with days, evenings, nights or weekend options

Parents often find that working evenings is perfect for them to maximise time spent with their children during the day.

Maybe you don’t fancy working during the week or you have another job and want the benefit of working in aged care over the weekend.
