Assistant in Nursing - Transitional Aged Care Program

As an Assistant in Nursing (AIN), you'll play a vital role in supporting clients to maintain their independence and quality of life within their own homes. This community-based role involves providing personal care and assistance with activities of daily living, tailored to each client's individual needs on the day.

Key responsibilities include:

• Promoting medication adherence through gentle reminders

• Providing basic wound care (e.g., simple dressings for skin tears), with more complex needs referred to an Enrolled or Registered Nurse

• Supporting home exercise programs as prescribed by physiotherapists

• Assisting with light domestic tasks, grocery shopping, and transport to medical appointments

You will work autonomously, visiting clients on your own. To support this, you’ll be provided with a work vehicle and mobile phone, and you’ll always have access to your manager or other team members for guidance when needed.

This role is ideal for someone who is confident working independently, enjoys building rapport with clients, and is passionate about providing compassionate, client-centred care in the community.

You are a compassionate and self-motivated individual who thrives when working independently, yet values being part of a supportive team. In this role, your ability to manage your time effectively and adapt to changing daily needs is essential.

To succeed in the TACP team, you will bring:

• Certificate III Assistant in Nursing

• A high level of autonomy and initiative

• Flexibility and a strong team-oriented mindset

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• A genuine commitment to delivering safe, person-centred care

Your focus will be on supporting clients to achieve their functional goals, promoting dignity, independence, and quality of life through every interaction.
