Wintringham is a specialist not-for-profit company providing an extensive range of aged care, housing and related support services to elderly men and women who come from a homeless background. With annual revenue of $51 million, we employ over 600 staff and operate from multiple offices in Melbourne and regional Victoria. Wintringham is a major provider of home care in Victoria, managing approximately 700 home care packages. Our regional team of Carer's, Case Managers, Outreach Workers, Care & Support Workers and Recreation staff provide holistic care and support to clients who live independently in their own homes.

We are seeking candidates with excellent communication skills who have the ability to build rapport with those who are socially isolated within the community. You will have a non-judgmental attitude, the ability to liaise with people form varying socioeconomic backgrounds, and experience working with both socially isolated people and people with challenging behaviour.
