Gardening & Property Maintenance

Gardener & Property Maintenance Worker

Melbourne & Regional Victoria
Helping people feel proud of where they live.
At Total Care Foundations, we believe a safe, tidy and well-maintained outdoor space contributes to confidence, wellbeing and independence.

For many of the people we support, maintaining a garden or outdoor area can become difficult without the right assistance. That's where you come in. We're looking for reliable and hardworking Gardeners who enjoy practical work and understand that every property represents someone's home, not just another job.

  • Lawn mowing
  • Whipper snipping
  • Hedge trimming
  • Weed control
  • Pruning
  • Green waste removal
  • General garden maintenance
  • Outdoor tidy-ups
  • Minor property maintenance where appropriate

You'll also build positive relationships with participants and represent Total Care Foundations with professionalism and respect.

We're Looking for Someone Who

  • Takes pride in producing quality work
  • Is dependable and punctual
  • Enjoys working outdoors
  • Treats every participant with dignity and respect
  • Communicates professionally
  • Works safely and independently
  • Understands that even practical support can have a significant impact on someone's wellbeing

Essential Requirements

  • Current Australian Driver Licence
  • Reliable vehicle suitable for transporting equipment
  • Own gardening equipment (preferred)
  • National Police Check
  • NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)
  • Right to work in Australia

Why Join Total Care Foundations?

At Total Care Foundations, every role matters. Whether you're supporting someone in their home, helping them access their community or maintaining their outdoor space, you're contributing to something bigger. We're building an organisation known for consistency, compassion and genuine care.

Our vision

Our vision is to become one of Victoria's leading providers of integrated community support services. As the Total Care group grows, each division will expand while holding to the same standard of professionalism, quality, integrity and person-centred service — creating a trusted organisation where individuals, families, businesses and community organisations can access multiple services through one experienced, reliable provider.

Why Total Care Foundations

Built through trust, not marketing

For more than seven years, Total Care Foundations has grown almost entirely through relationships, referrals and reputation — without large-scale advertising or marketing campaigns. New clients regularly arrive through GPs, psychiatrists, hospitals, Support Coordinators, Behaviour Support Practitioners, schools, churches and community networks.

That kind of trust is earned, not bought — and it's the same standard we bring to every clean, every garden, every visit.

We stay

When situations get difficult, we don't disengage. Long-standing clients and referral partners know Total Care follows through during periods of crisis or change, not just when things are straightforward.

Person-centred, always

Every service is shaped around the person receiving it — their routine, their goals, their preferences — whether that's a weekly clean, a fortnightly mow, or an NDIS or aged care support arrangement.
