Has COVID-19 forced you into becoming a job-hopper? If finding secure work in a growing industry seems like a thing of the past, then you may be looking in the wrong place.
If the pandemic has made one thing clear, it’s that job security has never been more valuable than it is today.
And although most industries have struggled to adapt and overcome these unprecedented challenges, one industry in particular has continued to experience exponential growth.
In fact, over the past two years, the care industry has cemented itself as one of the most in demand industries in Australia.
Put simply, the industry needs more workers.
In fact, according to analysis conducted by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA), the industry will face a workforce shortage of at least 110,000 over the next 10 years.
So, what’s in it for you? Well apart from stepping into a secure role where your services are truly valued, you’ll be making a real difference in someone’s life and going home each day with a true sense of satisfaction.
As a support worker, no two days are ever the same, with plenty of variety and highly flexible hours on offer. From helping with meal preparation and household chores, to providing emotional support and going shopping, you can be assured that each day will bring its own set of unique challenges.
Don’t think you’re suitable? The care industry is accommodating to people of all ages, experience levels and backgrounds. Whether you’re unemployed, a young adult looking to get away from retail or hospitality, or a parent or grandparent who’s simply looking for a career change, the care industry may be just want you need to find security in your work life.
