Are you a warm, compassionate professional who thrives on helping others navigate life-changing decisions?
Join BASScare as a Community Services Intake Officer and play a key role in helping older adults access the support they need to remain independent, connected, and well.

Conduct client intakes and assessments (in-home, over the phone, or in-centre).
Develop, review and update individual care plans in partnership with clients, carers, and health professionals.
Monitor changing client needs and ensure services remain responsive and appropriate.

Contribute to service improvements and quality assurance activities.
What You’ll Bring:
Experience with client intake, assessment, and care planning.
Solid understanding of consumer-directed care principles.
Strong admin, IT and organisational skills.
Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
Comfortable working independently and collaboratively.
Committed to inclusion, dignity, and person-centred practice.
Police Check (current) and valid Driver’s Licence.
Desirable but not essential:
Familiar with government-funded aged care programs like My Aged Care, CHSP, or Support at Home.
