EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONAL CARE WORKERS - WAKFIELD AGED CARE - RIVERTON

The gorgeous Yorke and Northern region encompass the Yorke Peninsula and significant areas of the Spencer Gulf and Gulf of St Vincent, Southern Flinders Ranges, and the Mid North of South Australia (SA) all within easy reach of Adelaide.

The Yorke Peninsula, with over 700 kilometres of coastline, boasts stunning beaches and friendly local towns. It is one of SA’s most accessible seaside escape locations with breathtaking views and national parks. It is a place to experience fresh seafood from local providers and you’ll also find plenty of bakeries, craft breweries and distilleries. Walking trails, diving, surfing, and cycling are just some of the recreational activities the Yorke Peninsula has to offer.

The Mid North region is SA’s gateway to the outback and Southern Flinders Ranges, it is renowned for its wonderful rural panoramas and unique country townships. The area is made up of dramatic landscapes and native wildlife and offers an abundance of activities to break up those workdays, including outback camping, four-wheel driving, cycling, and surfing. The beautiful Clare Valley sits within this region and offers some of Australia’s best wines with more than 50 cellar doors to explore and enjoy.

The Yorke and Northern Local Health Network (YNLHN) supports and fosters a culture in which employees feel they belong and feel safe in their work environment. This culture aims to encourage all people to use their talents and to be valued and rewarded for their contributions.
