Care Partner

Are you an experienced Case Manager or Care Coordinator ready to step into a more person‑centred, future‑focused role? At Odyssey Lifestyle Care Communities, we call it a Care Partner — because this role is about walking alongside residents and their supporters, not just “managing packages”. It’s about partnering with older people to achieve their goals, maintain independence, and live well in a community that feels like home. As our Care Partner, you’ll coordinate Support at Home and Private services, guide residents and families through their care journey, and champion rights, choice and dignity under the new Aged Care Act. You’ll be part of a pioneering team delivering goal‑directed, home‑based care within our Odyssey Robina Community that enhances lives while staying true to our mission: Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen . Odyssey is a growing, owner‑operated organisation with exciting opportunities ahead. As we expand our communities and services, we’re committed to supporting our staff to grow with us. You’ll have regular access to the owner and executive team, with strong, hands‑on support and open communication. This isn’t a distant corporate structure — it’s a connected, values‑led environment where your input matters and your career can thrive. Whether you're looking to broaden your scope or build on specialised care‑partnering expertise, we offer clear pathways for progression, backed by mentorship and genuine development opportunities. What You’ll Do Partner with residents and their chosen supporters to understand what matters to them and co‑design wellness, reablement and lifestyle goals under the Support at Home program. Develop, implement and review individual care and support plans that reflect goals, preferences, risks and changing needs, using tools such as care plans, assessments and budget tools. Coordinate and monitor safe, timely, effective and cost‑efficient services that uphold residents’ independence, dignity and choice. Build resident service models, and prepare care service agreements, ensuring fees and inclusions are transparent and fully discussed with residents and/or families. Act as the key point of contact for changes, cancellations and ad‑hoc service requests, responding promptly and communicating clearly with residents, families and the care team. Regularly review Support at Home budgets to ensure adequate services are in place to meet residents’ goals while avoiding overspend of allocated funds. Advocate for residents’ rights and preferences in line with the new Aged Care Act and the Code of Conduct for Aged Care, supporting informed decision‑making. Build strong, collaborative relationships with the Wellness Manager, clinical team, Community Manager, external providers and the Finance Team to ensure seamless service delivery and accurate billing. Contribute to quality improvement projects, audits and reporting requirements in line with Odyssey’s Quality Management System and legislative frameworks. Assist with new resident assessments, onboarding and move‑in documentation as required, and take on additional duties as services grow and evolve.
