About the Role

* Offer companionship, emotional support, and engaging social activities.
* Follow tailored care plans and record observations, promptly reporting any changes in health or behaviour.
* Administer medications (where trained/authorised) and assist with mobility or transfers, including the safe use of equipment such as hoists or Hoyer lifts.
* Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that promotes well-being and independence.
What We're Looking For
* Essential: empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to improve quality of life.
* First Aid and CPR certification (or willingness to obtain).
* Previous experience in community care, group homes, or assisted-living settings is an advantage.
* Comfortable supporting people with dementia, Alzheimer's, autism, or other developmental/health conditions.
* Ability to follow care plans, maintain confidentiality, and meet high hygiene standards.
* Physically able to assist with lifting or mobility when required.
Why Work with Synergy
* Service-first culture: we prioritise excellent client care and fair staff pay over sales targets.

* Ongoing training & career development, including specialist courses in dementia and autism support.
* A supportive management team that values your input and well-being.
Bring your compassion and commitment to care, and help us empower individuals to live their best lives.
