Calvary Gympie Views boosts workforce through traineeship pathway

After the death of his grandfather, Carter Senini decided to do something different with his life, trading his job in an abattoir for one in aged care.

“When Pop passed away, I felt inspired to try something new. Our older people’s time is so precious and it is incredibly rewarding being able to share that time with them,” Mr Senini said.

Mr Senini is one of 9 trainees currently undertaking a Certificate III in Individual Support at Calvary Gympie Views Residential Aged Care. Overall, the home has had 13 trainees learning and working at its facility, with Mr Senini part of the third cohort to take up the opportunity.

Calvary Gympie Views Aged Care Home Manager, Deb Lillis, said having the trainees join the local workforce had transformed the home.

“The trainees are a breath of fresh of air for both staff and residents. They have a new energy that they bring to the table and come up with some amazing ideas on how to provide improved care.”

“Even though some of the trainees have only been with us for a short period of time, they’re fast becoming the favourites of many of our residents. I think the trainees remind them of their grandchildren in a way.”
