Care Partner – Aged Care (Case Management)

Care Partner – Aged Care (Case Management)

SCHADS Level 4

Make a meaningful difference in a community that cares — and join our organisation that cares for you like family too.

You’ve probably scrolled past a dozen Case Manager and Care Partner ads today that all sound the same. At JewishCare, this role is a little different. As a Care Partner, you’re not simply managing a caseload. You’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships and walk alongside people in our community through important moments in their lives.

Some of the people you’ll support are Holocaust survivors — people with extraordinary stories, resilience and wisdom. Supporting their care is about more than coordinating services. It’s about taking the time to understand each person, honour their history and traditions, and support their dignity, choices and independence.

We’re looking for an experienced Care Partner who enjoys bringing together complex care, services and people, and who takes genuine pride in making a positive difference to the lives of those they support. At the same time, doing this in an organisation and team that has your back.

If you’re looking for meaningful work, a supportive team and the opportunity to build relationships that matter, we’d love to hear from you.

Join JewishCare and walk alongside our community.

• Managing client budgets — keeping spend on track and resources aligned to changing needs
• Coordinating across our Restorative Care, End-of-Life, and Assistive Technology & Home Modifications (AT-HM) pathways, working closely with clinically qualified staff when needs go beyond general care management

• Liaising with GPs, allied health and other key providers and our aged care service coordinators & workforce planners.
• Keeping documentation sharp and compliant with the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards
