Hotel Services Coordinator - Scottdsale

Brodie

  • "I started my career in Aged Care 11 years ago after completing Certificate III in aged

    & community care. I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside other ECAs to meet the

    residents' individual care needs. This experience provided me with significant job satisfaction and helped me transition into a position with another company, which specialises in providing equipment for the elderly across the state. While I was gaining experience at other establishments, I applied for a vacant maintenance officer position at Scottsdale May Shaw and was successful.

    Starting in the maintenance sector for May Shaw in 2018, I progressed to managerial roles. Transitioning to management, I drew on my maintenance background to lead effectively, leveraging insights into daily operations for informed decision-making and efficient problem-solving. I gained valuable lessons in communication, teamwork, and adaptability in a dynamic setting. My journey from maintenance to management has been enriching, offering challenges and growth that have moulded me into a versatile leader.

    Securing a role at May Shaw Scottsdale allowed me to return to the Northeast area and maintain a good work-life balance, but most importantly, be close to my family. I love working at May Shaw, helping the residents, developing relationships and continuing to grow".

Administration/Marketing Assistant

Phoebe

  • “I began working at May Shaw in 2018 as an Administration Assistant. My interest and enjoyment in Marketing, Design, and Publications were evident, and May Shaw encouraged me to move into a Marketing Role and supported me in completing a Certificate in Content Marketing. This role is an exciting one, bringing fun new opportunities and projects every day.

    Having lived on the East Coast of Tasmania my whole life, securing a role at May Shaw has enabled me to remain living and working in the area, surrounded by my loved ones, which is most important to me. Working at May Shaw allows me to maintain an outstanding work-life balance, as I enjoy lunch with my grandmother each day and can walk to the beach with my dogs after work, all within walking distance.

    I love working at May Shaw and am eager to see where this position may lead me in the future. I highly recommend May Shaw and urge young locals to explore the Aged Care opportunities we have to offer”.

Clinical Care Coordinator

Louise

  • "I qualified from UTAS as a Registered Nurse in 1994 after working as a carer at the Royal Derwent Hospital in New Norfolk. After 12 years working interstate as an educator and Nurse Unit Manager, I moved back to Tasmania and eventually ended up at May Shaw in Swansea as an RN between 2011 and 2016. After a break of over 4 years, I returned to May Shaw mid-2021 as the Clinical Nurse Manager after a 5-month stint in Sydney Contact Tracing in NSW Health during COVID-19.

    Before working at May Shaw, I had only worked in acute care and education, not aged care.

    It is hard to quantify how rewarding it is to work in aged care. The relationships that are built between residents, family and staff are very special.

    It is an honour to be part of a workforce and community whose sole focus is ensuring our older population receives the best of care as personalised as possible. All the while, encouraging residents to live the best life they can and have fun, therefore changing the perception of what it means to live in a residential aged care facility. Working in a not for profit organisation means resident care and satisfaction are at the centre of decisions in the business.

    ​Working as a nurse at May Shaw in Swansea, with the combination of residential, sub-acute and urgent care, has meant there is never a dull day at work. Providing health care in a rural area means there is a deeper connection with the community, which is also an attraction to working at May Shaw".
