What makes our Traineeships different

We don’t just want you to tick a box in your career; we want to see you grow, take on new responsibilities, and develop a fulfilling career. Embark on this journey with us and together, let's create a better tomorrow.

Your personal development is our number one priority

As a trainee, you will become a vital part of our service. We embrace the opportunity to help you to learn and develop your career aspirations in a safe and friendly environment.

In this video, we caught up with School-Based Aged Care Trainees, Lisa and Ava to talk about what the opportunity means to them ahead of leaving high school and embarking on their chosen career paths.

0:00 [Lisa, Residencial Aged care School-based Trainee]
As a new trainee what I'm looking forward to the most is probably being able to bring joy to people and make them feel loved.

0:09 [Ava, Residencial Aged care School-based Trainee]
Being a trainee the thing that I'm looking forward to the most is probably working with the residents and gaining friendships with them, and also the opportunities that come out of this.

0:20 [Lisa]
My favourite part of being a trainee at the moment has been um meeting new people and learning about people's lives and being able to see how the elderly people, how they live their lives and how much I could learn. By the end of this, I hope to have a Certificate 3 in Health Support Services and one day I would love to go to UNI and study to be a registered nurse and I'd love to be a rural nurse one day.

0:48 [Ava]
I've definitely always wanted to be a paramedic. This Certificate 3 is definitely really good for what I want to do because it's like a head start to the career that I really want.

0:58 [Lisa]
I definitely recommend this if you want to do a healthcare pathway and if you're not doing atar you'll still be able to get into University with this.

Eden Alternative™ - our care philosophy

Wesley Mission Queensland is the only aged care provider in Queensland with Eden fully registered aged care communities. The Eden Alternative™ philosophy of care is not a medical model of care – it’s a innovative way of thinking about aged care works to promote loving companionship, empowerment and spontaneity.

Every day our team of dedicated nursing and clinical staff, leisure and lifestyle coordinators, allied health professionals and chefs, all work together to provide a person-centred care environment. Whether it’s listening to a memorable song in the lounge room or recreating a special meal for a resident, our team aims to make each day a good day.
