Aged Care Home Support Worker (Trainee) - Adelaide South

Aged Care Traineeship | Earn While You Learn | No Support Work Experience Required

Looking for a career where you can genuinely make a difference every day?

Whether you're returning to work, changing careers, or looking for your first step into the care sector, this paid traineeship gives you the opportunity to earn while you learn, gain a nationally recognised qualification, and build a rewarding career supporting older Australians.

Complete the nationally recognised CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) while gaining paid, hands-on experience in Home & Community settings.

ACA is looking for people with strong customer service skills and a desire to work in this growing industry, supporting older Australians living in Adelaide's inner-south coastal and metro suburbs (particularly Unley, Marion, Mitcham, Holdfast Bay, and Onkaparinga).

Unlike residential aged care, you'll travel between clients' homes, helping older Australians maintain their independence while continuing to live safely in their own homes.

What's in it for you?

• Earn while you learn

• Nationally recognised qualification, fully funded

• Paid study time

• Ongoing mentoring and support

• Shifts available between 7:00am and 7:30pm

• No support work experience required

• Work that genuinely makes a difference in peoples' lives

• Start a career in one of Australia's fastest growing industries

You will thrive in this role if you:

• Have an interest in Aged Care & Community Services

• Are warm, respectful, and compassionate towards others

• Have strong communication and customer service skills

• Are physically fit and work well independently and in team environments

• Are a resilient, empathetic problem-solver

• Have your own vehicle and SA driver's licence (P2 Provisional Licence is required)

• Are willing to obtain a National Police Check and undertake a First Aid and Manual Handling course

How to apply

Please be advised, to be eligible for the traineeship you:

• Must be an Australian or New Zealand Citizen or Permanent Resident
