For Jobseekers
Are you looking for an “encore career”, one that provides the opportunity to support your community?
Working in the health and social services sector is rewarding, and the sector recognises that work and the rest of your life need to fit together. For this reason, the sector has embraced flexibility, to meet the needs of workers as well as employers.
The benefits of working in the health and social services sector include:
- Flexibility - you travel a lot, you don’t want to be tied to one town or one employer – use this website to let employers know when you’ll be in the region and how much work you’re looking for
- Working hours - you’ve done your time working full days, full weeks, full years. You want to work, but you want a life as well. Use this website to let employers know what hours, what days you are prepared to work – this is your call, not ours
- Salary packaging – (get some words from Robert re the salary packaging stuff)
- Giving back - the health and social services sector works with the most disadvantaged in our community – providing workers with opportunities to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. Whether you want to volunteer or be paid for your contribution to this effort, this website can find an employer to give you that opportunity
What qualifications and experience do I need?
- We can take care of the training – and you have life experience
- Maybe you have years of experience in the sector, but you really don’t want to go back to service delivery. We’re looking for mentors as well as direct workers – opportunities to pass on your knowledge and share your experience
- Don’t have experience in nursing, health professions, aged care? Bet you can mow a lawn, change a light bulb, make a great cup of tea, chat for an hour or so. It’s not about work you have done, it’s about what you can offer
