About IRT

Founded in 1969, IRT’s mission was to provide better options in housing and care for older people. Now 50 years later, our purpose remains the same.

We improve the lives of more than 9100 people every day in NSW, the ACT and Qld. We’re one of Australia’s largest community-owned providers of independent living, aged care and home care. We’re proud to have more than 40 communities and home care service hubs in NSW, the ACT and Qld.

IRT is an equal opportunity employer. We find excellence in diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We are proud of our culture and employ people across a diverse range of occupations, backgrounds and skills, who are passionate and committed to creating a better world for all older Australians.

This is a full-time maximum-term contract position ending 30 June 2027, offers an opportunity to combine your customer service, administration, and community services experience in a role that genuinely improves lives.

Develop and maintain relationships with referral partners and community service providers.
Participate in training, professional development, reflective practice, and sector events.
Contribute to service improvement initiatives, community engagement activities, fundraising, and events.
Ensure compliance with organisational policies, privacy requirements, and workplace health and safety obligations.

To Be Successful You Will Have

Experience supporting older people, socially isolated individuals, or people experiencing complex health, housing, financial, or care-related challenges.
Strong customer service and interpersonal skills with a genuine person-centred approach.
Ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with vulnerable clients.
Experience managing enquiries, referrals, and administrative processes in a high-volume environment.
Excellent written communication and record-keeping skills with strong attention to detail.
Ability to maintain confidentiality and manage sensitive information appropriately.
Sound organisational skills with the ability to prioritise competing demands.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and client management systems.
Ability to work collaboratively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
Desirable: Understanding of aged care, community services, health, or support sectors.
Desirable: Knowledge of trauma-informed practice.
