What it’s like to work in aged care at UC

A career in aged care means supporting older people through the moments that really matter.

Depending on your role, a typical day might look like:

• Sitting together over a morning cuppa, sharing a laugh.
• Preparing or serving a home-cooked meal that sparks conversation and nostalgia.
• Bringing comfort through familiar routines: folding washing together, watering the garden, or reading aloud.
• Celebrating milestones together, from birthdays to small wins in rehabilitation.
• Supporting someone to regain confidence after an illness or hospital stay.
• Encouraging independence by helping someone do the things they love, their way.
• Noticing when a person seems quieter than usual, and taking the time to check in.

Most importantly, you’ll be the reassuring voice or friendly face that helps an older person feel safe and valued. It’s a rewarding career path that makes the most of your skills, experience and caring nature.
