They help patients and residents with their daily care. This could be during meal rounds, showering and hygiene, toileting and grooming for example.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is an entry level role in the aged care industry, which can open the door to many other positions such as an enrolled nurse, registered nurse, aged care management and beyond.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 tabindex=\"0\">Where are the assistant in nursing roles that you are recruiting for?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since inception, we have nurtured strong relationships with aged care homes across the country. Through Sanctuary, there is the option to work in areas that are metro, regional, rural and remote.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the Sunshine Coast we are roles in the state in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brisbane<\/li>\n<li>Bundaberg<\/li>\n<li>Byron Bay<\/li>\n<li>Cairns<\/li>\n<li>Gold Coast<\/li>\n<li>Hervey Bay<\/li>\n<li>Toowoomba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 tabindex=\"0\">What are the pay rates for an assistant in nursing?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Pay rates are stipulated by the Aged Care Award. This will vary depending on your experience, job title and location of work.\u00a0 for example. The average personal care worker casual pay rates are in-between $29 &#8211; $71 per hour.<\/p>\n<p>You can earn bonuses, as well as receive incentives and allowances for eligible certain contract placements. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuaryrecruitment.com\/blog\/aged-care-reform-roadmap-explained\/\"><u>Aged care reforms<\/u><\/a> have led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuaryrecruitment.com\/blog\/aged-care-pay-rise-2023\/\"><u>pay rises for aged care workers<\/u><\/a> in recent years, with more developments to come.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 tabindex=\"0\">What experience do I need to work as a personal care worker through Sanctuary?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a rule of thumb, you need a minimum of six months Australian aged care experience to work through our agency.

In Australia, this is a Certificate III\/IV in Ageing Support\/Individual Support\/Health Services Assistance. This course is around 5 months long (full time) and can be studied through various educational institutions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 tabindex=\"0\">What assistant in nursing aged care work types do you offer?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Once qualified as an assistant in nursing, you can choose to work on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuaryrecruitment.com\/aged-care-casual-jobs\/\"><u>temporary\/casua<\/u><\/a>l and\/or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuaryrecruitment.com\/aged-care-contract-jobs\/\"><u>contract<\/u> <\/a>basis. Casual work, or shift filling, is usually done ad-hoc or last minute. Contract roles range in length and last 4 weeks &#8211; 3 months in rural, regional and remote areas of the country.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 tabindex=\"0\">Is there ongoing education for assistant in nursing through Sanctuary?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>We ensure all of our nursing pool are up to date with their knowledge and skills.
