Helping the physiotherapists
Assisting with eating and drinking at mealtimes
Engaging in conversations, manicures, walks, and laughs to improve independence and autonomy through exercises

Qualifications
Am I the right fit?
If you are people-centric, respectful, considerate, and want to make a difference, you will be the perfect Kaitiaki. It is not a caregiver role - so if you're wanting to get into this work without the physical demands of providing personal care, this is for you.
You might be a school leaver looking for work, or maybe you've had some time off and are looking to get back into the workforce. The role would also be good for those looking for part-time work, working Sunday and Mondays, 10am - 3:30pm and Tuesday and Wednesdays 3:00pm until 8:30pm - with the ability to pick up other shifts as needed to cover leave.
No specific experience is required - we'll provide you with training. At Summerset, our main focus is on bringing the Best of Life to our residents, so if you think you can help, we want to hear from you.

Summerset benefits package, which includes health cover, meal allowances, a clothing allocation, discounts at a range of suppliers, and birthday leave
A weekend rate of an additional 40% of the hourly rate
Training opportunities - we will support you to achieve your National Certificate in Health, Disability and Aged Support to at least Level 2, as well as other modules in dementia care, mobility therapy, and more
Working with an enthusiastic and supportive team which is fun to be a part of!
