Aged Care & Hospital Maintenance Jobs
Healthcare facilities need constant maintenance — and the workers who do it need specific skills beyond standard construction.
What the Work Involves
General repairs (doors, locks, furniture). Painting (internal, minimal disruption). Plumbing (taps, toilets, minor pipe work). Electrical (lighting, power points, safety switches). Carpentry (cabinetry, shelving, fencing). Grounds maintenance and landscaping.
Special Requirements
National Police Check (mandatory — working with vulnerable people). Working With Children Check if paediatric facilities. Sensitivity to patients/residents — minimal noise and disruption. Infection control awareness. Professional presentation at all times.
Pay
Maintenance officers: $35-$50/hr. Facilities coordinators: $70K-$90K. Often Monday-Friday with stable hours — one of the most lifestyle-friendly construction-adjacent roles.
