About The Position
Anglicare’s North Coast Community Aged & Disability team provide support and services that enable our clients to maintain their independence - living happily and healthily within their own homes. We recognise that one size does not fit all, and working together is the key to great outcomes. Our non-clinical programs are designed to support individual needs, incorporating the principles of social inclusion, choice and control, enablement, empowerment and independence; and our clinical supports include nursing and allied health care at home, along with domestic and personal assistance.

About The Place
The Sunshine Coast is located 100km north of Brisbane, spanning around 60km of coastline, it stretches from Caloundra in the south, to the Great Sandy Nation Park in the north, and encompases beach resorts, surf spots and a rural hinterland. With tourist attractions including Australia Zoo, UnderWater World, the Big Pineapple and Aussie World, the Sunshine Coast has lots of offer. Warm summers and ocean breezes make al fresco dining at the multitude of cafes and restaurants a great experience, and the boardwalk offers several kilometres of beachfront enjoyment.

- Client assessments to ensure effective treatment
