Receptionist/ Administration Support- Aged Care
Lister Home
Be the friendly face and steady hand at the heart of our home.
About us
Lister Home & Hospital is a well-established residential aged care facility, home to a warm community of residents and the dedicated team who care for them.
About the role
As our Receptionist/Administration Support, you'll be the first person our residents' families and visitors meet — so a warm smile and a calm, capable manner matter here just as much as your admin skills. Reporting to our Facility Manager, you'll manage front-of-house reception duties (phones, greeting visitors, appointments, the resident register) alongside a broad range of administrative support — invoicing, filing, data entry, correspondence, and audit documentation — using systems including vCare, Xero, RosterMate, Crystal Payroll and the Microsoft Office Suite. Full training and support in all our systems will be provided to the right candidate, so if your reception and admin fundamentals are strong but you haven't used these specific systems before, we'd still love to hear from you.
About you
Warm, professional, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people — our elderly residents and their families in particular
Well organised, accurate, and comfortable juggling a busy front desk with admin deadlines
Confident with Microsoft Office (strong Excel skills a bonus)
Discreet, with a solid understanding of confidentiality
A great team player who can also work independently
Previous reception/admin experience is valuable; aged care or healthcare experience is an advantage but not essential
