Your next career step with us

For more than 150 years, our staff have supported everyday Queenslanders of all walks of life from young children, to adolescents, adults and the elderly.

We have vacancies across many areas of our organisation including aged care, foster care, homelessness services and family wellbeing.

Day in the life of a Home Care Worker

Meet Andrea – Anglicare’s most remote care worker calling Longreach home. Part of our Community Aged Care team, it’s not uncommon for Andrea to travel more than 300 kilometers in a day, visiting clients on remote properties so they can safely and comfortably remain in their own homes.

A typical day can include a range of jobs including personal grooming and hygiene; assistance with medication reminders and general self-care; assisting clients with shopping and appointments; assistance with domestic duties, food preparation and general help around the house.

A day in the life of a Personal Care Worker

Personal Care Workers help the residents living in our aged care homes live their day, their way. They are there to support them with their morning routines, their meals, and the activities of daily living. Due to how purposeful their work is, job satisfaction amongst Personal Care Workers is usually very high.

A typical day for a Personal Care Worker can include a range of jobs: personal grooming and hygiene, domestic duties such as housekeeping and laundry, and assisting the residents with social activities. Whether the resident wants to take a walk through the gardens, play a game of bingo, or simply sit and enjoy a cup of tea, you’ll always be there to provide a listening ear and a readiness to support them with whatever they need.

Day in the life of a Domestic Assistant

Meet Tess! She loves getting out and about in the community in her role, providing social connection as well as domestic assistance. Her work is crucial for helping her clients maintain independence at home.

A typical day can include a range of jobs: laundry (washing, folding, drying), dish washing, vacuuming, taking the rubbish out and general cleaning around the house. Many clients also love to share a cuppa once the job is done!

Our commitment to reconciliation

We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Nations People, with unique cultures, languages, and spiritual relationships to the land and seas. We acknowledge the past and are strongly committed to improving the lives, and upholding the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Anglicare Southern Queensland acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which our services now stand. We pay our respect to Elders – past, present and emerging – and acknowledge the important role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in caring for their own communities.

Multiculturalism and inclusion

Anglicare is an inclusive and diverse not-for-profit. We support staff and people who are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, from the LGBTIQ+ community, and people living with disabilities, and mental health challenges. We are a child-safe environment and are committed to providing ongoing care and protection for vulnerable Queenslanders who need us.

We are proud of our gender equality efforts with women being well represented at leadership and management levels in our workplace. Our compliance with the Act by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency is just one way we continuously shape a more inclusive workplace and empower our employees in their chosen career.

Volunteer and student placements

Coming from all walks of life, our diverse group of wonderful volunteers and students across Southern Queensland support people to live the life they want. If you’re wanting to complete your studies with student placement or just want to give back to the community, we’re excited to speak with you.

Proudly by your side, Queensland.

Our 3,749 staff and volunteers care for more than 40,000 Queenslanders of all ages. Our staff are the backbone of Anglicare Southern Queensland. Even when times are tough, we provide care, hope and love to those who need it. It is what drives our work in the community every single day and is a significant part of our 150-year legacy.

There is no better way to celebrate our frontline workers than with words from those they help and support the most – our clients.
