Handyperson (Community)

About the role

We are seeking a Handyperson to join our My Community Home Care team to assist in supporting Community Consumers to remain living independently.

As a Community Handyperson you will complete home maintenance tasks such as mowing, gardening, pruning, edging and post clean-up activities in line with the Consumers Service Plan.

Our services extend to the communities of Bellbridge, Talgarno, Granya, Tallangatta Valley, Mitta, Eskdale and Tallandoon to name a few. A basic understanding of computers or tablets will be required to ensure daily tasks are managed and recorded effectively.

Working as a handyperson within our communities requires a commonsense approach across all aspects of the role. It is expected that our values are consistently modelled, from the way you communicate with residents, to driving to the conditions of our roads.

If you are a mature, experienced handyperson that is looking to join our caring and effective team, we would love to hear from you!

This is a casual opportunity of approximately 1 day per fortnight and hours of work may vary between 7:00am and 4:00pm. Flexible additional hours may be required to cover sick leave, annual leave or higher workload periods.
