BaptistCare is very good for career development. They have really invested in my development and I’ve grown so much in this role as a result.

Aged care nursing offers a range of benefits such as flexible shifts, continuing professional development opportunities, and the chance to make an ongoing difference in the lives of aged care home residents.
At BaptistCare, many of our Registered Nurses have come to us from an acute care or hospital setting, choosing to make a sideways career move into aged care. One of these nurses is Geeth.
Here are Geeth’s six reasons to become a Registered Nurse in aged care:
At BaptistCare, your career can mean as much to you as it does to the people you help. We offer a wide range of industry-leading employee benefits including:
We know work needs to fit around your life, not the other way around. With BaptistCare, you’ll have the support, flexibility and choice to equally prioritise your career, health, and family commitments.
At the heart of our operations is a workplace built on care. There’s always someone looking out for you here, whether it’s your leader, colleague, or local chaplain, we ensure our people are properly supported to do their job well and feel part of the wider BaptistCare community.
Working for a category leader means that we’re always improving the way we make a difference for our people, whether it’s better equipment, effective tax savings or a generous rewards program.
Here, the care you bring will always be matched by our commitment to your wellbeing and development, whether you're an experienced registered nurse, a clinical specialist or just beginning your nursing journey.
Gerald has worked as a Registered Nurse with BaptistCare for almost three years, but with over 16 years of experience, he is a wonderful asset to the team, recently moving into the position of Residential Care Team Manager!
Gerald says his recent success is due in large part to the wonderful career development opportunities on offer at BaptistCare.
“BaptistCare is very good for Registered Nurses’ career development,” he says. “I was enrolled in an Infection Control course after just one year and soon became an Infection Control Lead in the care home.”
Meet our power couple from Orange, Steph and Gareth Danis. Having worked for decades as critical care nurses, they’ve found a beautiful new way of life in community aged care.
“We both made the career move just under a year ago,” says Gareth. “I joined BaptistCare first and Steph joined just a few months later. To say it’s been life-changing is an understatement.”
“We’d always used to tag in and out of shifts,” says Steph. “We can actually sit down together as a family for dinner now, and the kids get both of us instead of just one parent most of the time.”
