We are always on the lookout for new talent to join our team of professionals.

Our Direct Care staff are required to complete an online and face to face induction. Information regarding inductions and the next available induction date will be provided by the Recruitment Team as soon as possible in the Recruitment Process and with your letter of offer. Attendance at induction is a mandatory.

We will contact you as soon as possible to let you know if you have been successful or not.

Letters of offer are delivered via an SMS and email. Please follow the link to complete your new starter information and obtain information regarding your first day at Amana Living.

After the successful applicant has accepted the offer, unsuccessful interviewed applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by telephone (wherever possible).

All other unsuccessful applicants will receive a notification via email.

You will receive an email with a link to our online reference tool. You will be asked to provide two professional referees who are people who have supervised you in your previous employment. At least one should be a recent employer.

Dependent on the position you are being considered for, we may require you undertake a physical assessment to determine your ability to undertake the physical requirements of the role without risking your safety or injury, or the safety of those you are assisting.

The assessment is conducted by a Physiotherapist and is likely to include:

• manual handling capability and technique assessment

• musculoskeletal assessment

• blood pressure analysis

• a Body Mass Index assessment

• an aerobic fitness assessment

If you are successful following your interview, you may be progressed to a Physical Assessment and reference checks.

Your interviewers will ask a range of technical and behavioural style questions primarily about your skills and experience. We would love to hear examples from your past work history when you answer these questions.

At Amana Living we conduct both pre-recorded and face to face interviews. However due to recent COVID-19 events, video interviews are becoming more frequently used.

Video Interviews will be sent to you via an emailed link. You will be able to take the interview at a time and place that is convenient for you. We ask that the interview is completed as soon as possible, ideally within 3 days of receiving the email. It is important that you present as you would for an interview, however we are also very aware that interruptions can occur when you are doing this from home or in a public space! Don’t be alarmed, we take this all into consideration.

Face to Face interviews can be with our Recruitment Team in the first instance, or with one of our Managers. The questions asked in the video interview and face to face interview will be similar. A face to face interview for our direct care roles is most likely to occur at a facility, or at one of our corporate offices.

A literacy assessment is required for some of our vacancies. You will be advised when this is the case by the Recruitment Team. You will also be required to attend the interview with your 100 points of Identification.

Following review of your application you may be sent the pre-employment questionnaire by the recruiter who is keen to understand your fit for our vacancies, and culture. This will come via email containing a link to the online assessment.

Your passport and Drivers License are the most common documents used to confirm your Identification. Please follow the attached link to find alternative documentation you can use.
