The Application Process

Applying for a Position

If your initial application is satisfactory you will be invited to attend an interview with one of our Service Coordinators. Selection for PCA positions are primarily based on merit. This means that a person will be selected for the job on the basis of demonstrating the skills, personal qualities and experience that best match our client's requirements. Formal qualifications or prior experience are desirable but not essential as training is given. In some circumstances a successful candidate may also be required to attend an interview with the client they will be working with.

Referee Check

If your interview is satisfactory, the Service Coordinator will phone one or both of your nominated referees for their observations of your recent work performance. They may also be asked to verify or comment on claims made by you in the application form or during the interview.

Police Records Check

The NSW Government requires a Police Record Check to be carried out on all people who work as Personal Care Assistants. A prior conviction does not necessarily disqualify you from selection, but if this is the case the Manager will discuss the matter with you before any final decision is made regarding your employment.

Induction Interview

If you are successful in this application you will be contacted by us shortly after confirmation of your appointment, to arrange your attendance at our office for an induction interview (information session) which must be carried out before you start work or training.
