CARE PARTNER – WHERE RELATIONSHIPS MATTER
About Carer’s Network
We are a local family-owned business that is ‘Big enough to help you, small enough to care’ - and are here to help older Australians and NDIS participants live independently at home.
Make a difference where it matters most.
Being a Care Partner is more than a role — it’s a relationship. It’s about walking alongside people in their own homes, listening to what truly matters to them, and helping turn their goals into a safe, independent, and fulfilling reality. Every day, you will see the impact of your work firsthand — not only in the lives of your clients, but in the comfort and reassurance it brings to their families, knowing their loved one is genuinely cared for and prioritised.
About the Role
As a Care Partner, you play a critical role in supporting clients to live their best life at home. You will conduct in-home assessments, build meaningful relationships, and work collaboratively with clients and their families to design and manage personalised care plans that evolve as needs change.
This is a dynamic, hands-on role that blends problem-solving, advocacy, and compassion. You will be empowered to make decisions, work autonomously, and partner closely with a supportive team that shares your commitment to person-centred care.
If you are driven by connection, purpose, and the belief that great care starts with listening — we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Conduct comprehensive in-home assessments and ongoing monitoring of client needs.
- Build tailored care plans that support independence, safety, and quality of life.
- Oversee and manage Support at Home and Support at Home packages within budget.
- Maintain strong, trusted relationships with clients, families, caregivers, and stakeholders.
- Coordinate with internal teams to optimise service delivery and outcomes.
- Ensure compliance with Aged Care Quality Standards and regulatory requirements.
- Identify opportunities to improve services and support business growth.
- Be a calm, confident problem-solver in fast-paced and evolving situations.
What You’ll Bring
- A genuinely person-centred, relationship-driven approach to care
- Experience in a Care Partner, Care Manager, or Case Management role (Support at Home / Aged Care preferred)
- Understanding of Support at Home initiatives (highly regarded)
- Strong communication skills and the ability to empower client choice and participation.
- Confidence working autonomously while contributing positively to a team.
- Proven ability in problem-solving, conflict resolution, and decision-making
Qualifications & Experience
- Diploma level or above in Community, Aged Care/Disability, Nursing & Health, or a related discipline (desirable)
- Minimum 1 year experience in Support at Home Packages or Community Home Support case management
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a small, high-growth organisation where your voice matters
- A deeply meaningful career making real change in the lives of vulnerable people
