BFH – Lifestyle Support Helper

Hi there! We’re Five Good Friends. 

We’re an approved aged care and NDIS service provider helping our Members (others call them clients) live vibrantly in their own homes. We wrap a care team around them and their families, supported by innovative software that coordinates in the background—so our teams can focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care. 

We’re proud to be a place where purpose meets impact. Every day, our work contributes to helping people live their best lives, and that starts with our people.

About the Role

We’re on the lookout for a warm, reliable Support Worker in Victor Harbour and surrounding areas who loves helping people stay independent within their own home. As a Home Care Support Worker, you’ll visit 3-4 Members per day, providing hands-on assistance to help them maintain their homes and daily routines.

You’ll work 22.8 hours per week, Monday, Wednesday & Thursday (9am–5pm).

What You’ll Be Doing

• Complete household tasks such as vacuuming, mopping, dusting, laundry and general tidying ( 70% + of the role)
• Help keep homes organised, safe and comfortable
• Assist with grocery shopping and prepare simple, in-home meals
• Support safe food handling and storage
• Drive Members to appointments, shops or social outings
• Help Members stay active and connected within their local community
• Spend time building genuine connections through friendly conversation
• Provide regular check-ins and support overall wellbeing
• Encourage independence while offering practical, hands-on support

A quick note: While some Support Workers also provide personal care (like showering or dressing), this role is primarily focused on domestic assistance and community support.
