Due to an organisational review all Administration Coordinators have been made redundant and are being replaced with a Business Manager with a Degree to cover 2 sites.  I loved my job.  I had a good team, a great site manager and a busy productive office.  It has all been a learning source from day 1.  The hardest part of the job has been this latest review and knowing that despite completing 2 Diplomas this last year, it is not enough to secure my job.  I don't believe you can replace experience with a new Graduate who has no knowledge of aged care.  I have been in the industry a long time and I would have dearly loved to stay just a little longer.

A typical day at work I have to deal with situations that the normal people wouldn't I have to shower dress and feed people. Working with people with dementia no day is that same so saying a typical day at work doesn't really apply for me since no day is the same. The management at my work are lovely people who are very understanding and have quickly became what seems like a family  over the years. The hardest part of my job is when you spend every moment of the day with a person caring for all there needs to one day see them die in front of your eyes. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that I'm helping people to have a better quality of life for the short time they have left in this world.

I have built considerable knowledge and expertise over the last 8 years in Human Recourses and Recruitment. My skills have been applied within the areas of Health, Corporate and Professional Services and Local Government. Prior to this I have built significant administrative experience as an Executive Assistant. I am a professional, reliable and ambitious person motivated by a drive for excellence and success. I have a proven capacity to meet performance expectations and successfully build rapport and trust with clients and can work within a team or autonomously to embrace new challenges.

- Very low paying for what is expected, permanent carers only on $24 p/h
 - Promises of incentives working double shifts or coming in at short notice (vouchers) that are not always handed onto the staff member as there is not a registry to make sure this is followed through with.
 - High workload demands/expectations
 - The feeling of just being a number no matter how much effort you put in or how many years you have serviced the organisation.
- They always seem to be fighting to keep their employees wages at a very low level of pay, instead of paying and recognising employees & what they are worth.

Eldercare Aged Care facilities have one of the best work place and community culture I've ever experienced in a job, everyone from staff to residents and residents family members I found to be focused on one thing, that the residents themselves, the hours are good, and the volunteers that help out at Eldercare are absolutely amazing taking the time and giving the effort to the residents and keeping them feeling like they are still part of the eldercare community 

Start 3pm help residents go to bathroom.
Spend time with them before their dinner.
Assist with evening meal

I learnt that every day is different and compassion keeps the residents smiling
Management wanted our input but never took action on it.
Widely cultual it didnt make a difference to teamwork
The parting as i accumulate grandies then lose them.
Making the residents smile and laugh and enjoy their day

Senior Payroll Consultant leading a team of 4 Payroll officers
Assisting with implementation of new rostering and payroll systems
challenging
Had a great payroll team
the hardest part of the job was working the long hours to reach the deadlines of going live with the new systems and Management setting the go live date before the system was ready
the best part of the job was the payroll team - they supported me and I supported them to the best of our abilities

Very difficult job as a carer, in a small facility. 2 carers for 27 residents.  Running backwards and forwards,  no help from staff in higher positions with workload. Hopefully if a tragedy occurs they will place more carers in place, but won't happen. Only concerned about money. And they are racking in the money, for the lack of services they aren't supplying.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Cooking for elderly and having few nice people to work with
