Join us as we meet some of our amazing aged care workers.

Gerald has worked as a Registered Nurse with BaptistCare for almost three years, but with over 16 years of experience, he is a wonderful asset to the team, recently moving into the position of Residential Care Team Manager at Caloola Centre Residential Aged Care home in Wagga Wagga! 
 
Gerald says his recent success is due in large part to the wonderful career development opportunities on offer at BaptistCare.  
 
“BaptistCare is very good for Registered Nurses’ career development,” he says. “I was enrolled in an Infection Control course after just one year and soon became an Infection Control Lead in the care home.  

 

 

“After two years, I was doing Acting Residential Manager / Care Team Manager roles, as well as a Nurse Educator – I feel that BaptistCare has really invested in my development and I’ve grown so much in this role as a result.” 
 
Outside of work, Gerald is a serial fitness junkie! Along with attending the gym three times a week, playing volleyball, and recently learning tennis, he is also a gifted martial artist, having practiced Muay Thai and boxing for many years.  
 
“Wagga is a regional town in New South Wales, but really there is everything here that you could possibly need,” he smiles. 

 

 

Having worked in a transplant specialty hospital back home in the Philippines, Gerald says that aged care offers RNs a fulfilling career path with opportunities you wouldn’t necessarily find in a hospital setting.   
 
“As an RN, working in aged care is very fulfilling – you have the opportunity to build long-lasting connections with residents and their families, which is very different to the fast pace of hospital work,” he says.  
 
“BaptistCare has been fantastic. It’s a truly Christian organisation, with our vision and our purpose to transform lives,” says Gerald.

 

 “Our values – Love, Respect, Reliability, and Empowerment are all very fitting in aged care,

and our teams really do live these every day in the work that they do.”
