About JewishCare
JewishCare is a leading not-for-profit social services organisation providing high-quality support across aged care, disability, mental health, family and wellbeing services.

- Maintain accurate data within the Client Management System and rostering platform
- Communicate effectively with staff, clients and stakeholders regarding service requirements
- Support payroll and invoicing processes through accurate timesheet and service data
