Casual Disability Support Worker

Weekend availability essential

Disability Axis Services | Northern Adelaide

Disability Axis Services is seeking a values-driven and reliable Casual Disability Support Worker to join our growing team.

We are a person-centred, Developmental Educator-led organisation. Our approach goes beyond simply completing tasks for people. We work alongside participants to create meaningful capacity-building opportunities that increase independence, confidence, choice and participation in everyday life.

About the role

You will provide individualised support to participants in their homes and communities. Depending on the participant’s goals, shifts may involve:

- Building daily living skills, including cooking, shopping, cleaning and personal organisation

- Using prompting, modelling and task-analysis strategies to develop independence

- Supporting participants to make choices and take an active role in their own lives

- Assisting with appointments, activities and transport

- Following individual support plans, risk assessments and behaviour support strategies

- Completing clear, qualified progress notes and incident reports

- Working collaboratively with families, Developmental Educators and other professionals

- Providing personal care where required

encouragement and opportunity so each participant can build skills and work towards their goals.
