This unique employment program is being delivered in partnership by ET Australia with BlueWave Living.

Training will be delivered on site at BlueWave Living providing hands on training in a real work environment with a view to employment as a Care Service employee with BlueWave Living.

Both organisations share a vision for the ways in which the entry level workforce needs to be prepared and trained. This has resulted in a collaborative partnership between the two organisations.

To be considered for employment with BlueWave Living, students must participate in a CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) employment program delivered onsite at BlueWave Living.

The training is subsidised by the NSW Government for eligible students under the Smart and Skilled initiative.

The program has been designed to meet BlueWave’s need for entry level workers. There will be opportunities for employment for the right students with BlueWave Living on program completion to meet their current / emerging workforce needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a team that is committed to offering person-centred care, with the individual needs and expectations of each resident the central focus.
Students will learn how to provide quality care to residents, meeting their personal support needs and supporting their independence and well-being, whilst using safe work practices.
The combination of classroom learning with on the job training at BlueWave provides the foundations required to assess and address individual aged care needs.

Throughout the program, students will complete at least 120 hours of work placement within BlueWave Living. Students will practice and apply their skills under the supervision of ET Australia’s Trainer and BlueWave Living staff. The practical on the job component will help students to develop and consolidate skills and knowledge in a real work environment. Throughout the program, students will become familiar with BlueWave Living policies and procedures and employee expectations.
