Assistant in Nursing - Regis Frankston

Location: 93 Ashleigh Ave, Frankston VIC 3199

The Opportunity

Join a team that, like you, truly loves what they do, deeply cares for our residents, and is invested in building real, lasting relationships over transactional ones. Here, you will get to work with the same residents each day; whether that is helping them get around, assisting with personal care, or being a friendly face to laugh and share stories with; you are allowing them to live with the independence and dignity they deserve.

In return, we will recognize and support you, celebrate and respect your unique skills and background, and create more opportunities for you to build the career and life you want.

• Provide a helping hand with daily living activities like personal hygiene, grooming and oral care - those simple tasks that ensure dignity and comfort
• Offer social and emotional support by being there for residents, when no one else is - create smiles, listen to life stories, learning about cultures and sharing yours 
• Keep our residents mobile, assist them during mealtimes, and help them engage in lifestyle activities that nourish their mind, body and spirit connection
• Stay on top of documenting incidents and care, while participating in Work Health and Safety programs to ensure a smooth, secure environment
