Aged care jobs in Western Australia FAQs
Aged care workers are involved in the direct care of residents on a holistic level. An entry level role in this industry is an Assistant in nursing/Personal care worker, and you can develop your clinical skills to level up your position, going into a higher clinical position and/or management role.
We have longstanding relationships with over 400 aged care homes across Australia, in metro, regional, rural and remote areas of the country.
In Western Australia, we have regular placements available in:
- Perth
- Esperance and the Great Southern
- Kimberley
- Broome
- Kalgoorlie
- Geraldton
- Port Hedland
- Goldfields region
- Pilbara region
- Gascoyne region
- Midwest region
- Wheatbelt region
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 for nurses in Western Australia range from:
- AIN: $38 - $75 per hour
- EN: $40 - $81 per hour
- RN: $50 - $120 per hour
Incentives, allowances and bonuses 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.
AIN/PCA's 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 number, and for RN's you need a Bachelor of Nursing degree and an AHPRA registration.
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 home.
We want you to grow and flourish your career, and achieve everything you put your mind too. With Sanctuary, you have access to online learning modules via our education hub that are tailored for your job role. These are, and always will be, free to use.
Through working on an ad-hoc basis, you have the ability to:
- 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 work/life balance
- Receive a higher hourly rate than if you were a permanent employee
