Looking for work where the little things really matter? A clean room. A fresh bed. A spotless bathroom. A welcoming shared space.

These might seem like small things, but at Bally Cara, they can make a big difference to someone's day.

We're looking for reliable, caring and hardworking Housekeepers to join our Residential Aged Care team at our beautiful Scarborough community - just one street from the water.

This is a casual position with the opportunity to move into permanent employment for the right person and team fit.

At Bally Cara, you're not just joining a housekeeping team - you're becoming part of a community.

We're a values-led charitable organisation committed to inspiring healthy and happy living for our residents, clients and employees.

You'll work alongside a team of people who genuinely care about what they do, in an environment where you'll be supported, valued and encouraged to bring your strengths to work every day.

And yes… working just one street from the waterfront isn't a bad perk either!

As part of our Bally Bunch Benefits, you'll have access to:

• Physical and Emotional Wellness
  A wellness allowance that can be used towards activities such as remedial massage, yoga, Pilates, swimming or gym, plus access to our LIFT Fitness online portal.
• Professional Wellness
  Study assistance to support your development.
• Financial Wellness
  Access to not-for-profit salary packaging of up to $18,550, 17.5% annual leave loading and TELUS Health EAP and wellbeing benefits.

You'll be an important part of creating a clean, safe, comfortable and welcoming environment for our residents, visitors and team members.

Your day could include:

• Cleaning resident rooms and communal areas
• Vacuuming, mopping, dusting and sanitising
• Cleaning bathrooms, offices, kitchens and shared spaces
• Supporting our in-house laundry, including sorting, washing and distribution
• Removing rubbish and replenishing supplies
• Following infection prevention and control practices
• Using cleaning equipment, products and PPE safely
• Responding respectfully to resident and staff requests
• Identifying and reporting maintenance, safety or other concerns

But here's the important part…

You're helping create a place where people feel comfortable, respected and at home.

A beautifully made room, a clean common area or simply taking the time to say hello can make someone's day.

It would be invaluable if you have previous cleaning experience in aged care but we are also looking for people who:

• Are reliable, hardworking and take pride in what they do
• Have experience in cleaning or housekeeping
• Enjoy working both independently and as part of a team
• Are organised and able to manage their time effectively
• Have a friendly, respectful and customer-focused approach
• Are comfortable with the physical demands of a hands-on role
• Understand the importance of cleanliness, hygiene and attention to detail
• Willing to undergo a pre-employment assessment for the role

Experience in aged care, healthcare or commercial cleaning will be highly regarded, as will knowledge of infection prevention and control.

If you're looking for flexible casual work, great people and the opportunity to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Come and join a team where what you do every day helps make Bally Cara feel like home.
