Community Support Worker

The Shire of Esperance, located 750km from Perth on Western Australia’s south east coast, comprises some of the most spectacular landscapes and beaches in WA.  The Shire employs over 300 people in a diverse range of roles, making us one of the largest employers in the region.

All employees strive to embody the Shire’s values of Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Excellence in contributing to the community, making Esperance a great place to live and work.

We are Esperance Home Care — we need YOU!

More Esperance families need our help than we currently have staff to send.

Join the local team helping older residents stay safe, independent, and happy in their own homes.

What Esperance families say about our team

• “Without your care we could never have kept Mum at home for so long — that was always her wish.”
• “You’ve made such a difference to Mum being able to stay at home.”
•  “Best service we’ve ever had — nothing is too much trouble.”

The Role

This role is all about “safety” cleaning and laundry in clients’ homes — keeping floors safe, benches clear, washing done — so older people and people with disability can stay living independently. We are NOT a deep-clean or commercial cleaning service.

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to make a real difference in a community that cares.

No aged-care or disability support experience? That’s okay.
If you have a big heart, pride in your work, and genuine compassion — everything else is teachable.

What you will get from day one:

• Paid training (mix of in-house and formal courses)
• Ongoing mentoring and opportunities for career progression if sought
• (Fully funded traineeship: Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care) available if you wish to progress your career in this field- CSW general)
• Mileage allowance paid where work vehicles are unavailable
• Flexible, casual hours
• Starting at $41.08 per hour + penalties
• Work with a close-knit team that’s regularly praised as “the best thing that ever happened to my parents”

Essential Requirements

You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident (sorry, no working holiday or temporary visas).

Unrestricted Drivers Licence

Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug test and able to obtain a Police Clearance

Flexible availability including mornings, afternoons and school holidays (CSW - cleaner)

Flexible availability including mornings, evenings, weekends, public holidays and school holidays (CSW – general)
