Initiative and the ability to work with minimum supervision.
Able to meet the physical requirements of the role.
Basic computer skills (Office Word & Excel).
Current drivers licence (Essential).
Current Satisfactory Police Check or NDIS Workers Screening Check (or willing to obtain one)

Hours of work and location

Permanent Full Time position
Monday to Friday from 7 am – 3 pm

Working across multiple BASSCARE sites, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, Balwyn North & Glen Iris.
