Hear from Our Team
Hotel Services Coordinator - Scottdsale
Meet 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 gave me a lot of job satisfaction and helped me transition into a position with another company providing speciality 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 north east area and have 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
Meet Phoebe
“I began working at May Shaw in 2018 as an Administration Assistant. My interest and enjoyment in Marketing, Design and Publications was evident and May Shaw encouraged me to move into a Marketing Role and supported me to complete 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 have a great work-life balance, having lunch with my grandmother each day and being only walking distance from the beach to enjoy with my dogs after work.
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”.
"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 – 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.
​
Prior to 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 that’s 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 having 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 is 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".
