Aged care jobs in the Gold Coast FAQs
Aged care workers are involved in the direct care of residents on a physical, personal and emotional level. An entry level role in this industry is an Assistant in nursing/Personal care worker, and you can develop your clinical skills to become a registered nurse and beyond.
We have longstanding relationships with over 400 aged care providers across the country, in metro, regional, rural and remote areas of the country.
In Queensland, we have roles in the Gold Coast and in:
- Bribie Island
- Brisbane
- Cairns
- Central Queensland
- Hervey Bay
- Far North Queensland
- Toowoomba
- Wide Bay
- Whitsundays
across the Gold Coast, there are a lot of variances when it comes to pay rates, as aged care casual rates depend on your position, experience level and shift times that you work. Our casual pay rates range from:
- AIN: $38 - $75 per hour
- EN: $40 - $81 per hour
- RN: $50 - $120 per hour
Incentives, bonuses and allowances are applicable for certain areas and contract placements. Reforms in aged care have led to pay rises for aged care workers in recent years, with more developments to come.
We have a scheme where we offer nurses who have less than 6 months experience a trial period within a residential aged care home. If you have less than 6 months experience or have an aged care certificate, please get in contact to see what your options are available to you.
To work as an AIN/PCA with us you need to hold a Cert III/IV in Ageing Support/Individual Support/Health Services Assistance. To work as an EN you will need a Diploma of Nursing and an AHPRA registration, and to work as an RN you need a Bachelor of Nursing degree and an AHPRA registration. You will generally need 6 months or 1 year of Australian paid experience for most residential aged care homes.
We are recruiting aged care positions on a clinical and non clinical basis, for temporary/casual, contract and permanent assignments. Casual work, or shift filling, is done on an ad-hoc or block booking basis. Contract roles range from 4 weeks - 3 months in rural, regional and remote areas of the country and permanent positions are salary based, with you being employed directly by the provider.
For our Sanctuary team, we offer continuous online training via our Learning Management System (LMS) at no cost to you. This is regularly updated to reflect new legislation and practices.
We are actively hiring the following positions:
Through working on a short term or ad-hoc basis, you can:
- Structure your work day/week to your schedule
- Through our contract roles, you can explore areas of the country whilst getting paid for it, with free travel and accommodation included.
- Set your own hours and decide what your work/life balance would be
- Receive a higher hourly rate than if you were a permanent employee
