Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network, Whyalla

Salary: $27.36 - $27.65 per hour + 25% Casual Loading - Casual (up to 28 June 2024) - WHA2

Overview

Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network (FUNLHN) has moved to a Consumer Directed Care model for the provision of aged care, disability and support services. This allows consumers to maintain greater control over their lives by allowing them to make choices about the services they receive and who delivers those services. Consumers are encouraged to actively participate in identifying and setting goals, and to determine what level of involvement they want in managing their own living arrangements.

Under this model of care, the funding associated with the role of the Home Helper is controlled by consumers, rather than by the health provider. This means that consumers have an active role in determining the shifts that are available, the duties that are performed, the frequency of demand for the service, and the choice of provider organisation.

The Home Helper is integral to supporting this model of care by providing timely, efficient and effective service delivery. Duties may include the preparation and service of meals, general housekeeping cleaning and laundry duties to persons who are aged, frail or disabled in order to maintain their homes at a standard of cleanliness and hygiene that is compatible with them remaining in their homes.

Home Helpers need to be flexible, conscientious and empathetic and be able to work autonomously in the community. They will work closely and collaboratively with the consumer, their family and other health professionals, to provide quality outcomes and maintain consumer independence where possible.

FUNLHN supports staff to further develop their skills across a variety of areas. Ongoing education is encouraged and enables staff to provide quality and responsive services to consumers.

Must have a current driver's licence and willingness to drive, including access to a reliable, registered and insured (minimum of third party insurance) motor vehicle.

Must be contactable by telephone.

When you join our dynamic workforce you will escape the hustle and bustle of city life and be able to take advantage of the endless possibilities for adventure relaxation, recreation and sightseeing. In The Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network, you can experience cultural diversity, outback locations and regional city conveniences, whilst working in innovative roles to improve the community's health outcomes and wellbeing.
