Personal Care Worker Interview Prep – Know Your Interview Series for Blak Parents

Welcome to the Know Your Interview series — a space where we support our mob to step into job interviews with confidence, cultural strength, and real-world experience.

This episode is all about Personal Care Worker roles in aged care—supporting our Elders with respect, dignity, and compassion in homes, communities, or care facilities.

If you’re a Blak single parent who’s spent years caring for your kids, supporting family, or looking after Elders informally—you already carry the heart and values of a care worker.

You might be asking:

“But I’ve never worked in aged care before—can I still apply?”

“What do I say in the interview?”

“What if I don’t have the certificate yet?”

In this lesson, we’ll walk through the most common interview questions for personal care roles — and show you how to answer them using your lived experience, your cultural values, and your natural ability to care.

Let’s get you ready to speak proudly, show your strength, and walk into that interview with purpose.
