Sydney Health & Care Services is growing its Supported Independent Living (SIL) team across Wollongong and is looking for caring, capable and reliable Disability Support Workers.
If you enjoy work that is practical, people-focused and genuinely meaningful, this could be the role for you. You will support people with disability to live as independently as possible in their own home, build confidence, maintain routines, access their community and enjoy a life that reflects their goals and choices.
We have both casual and permanent part-time opportunities available.
This is a genuine 24/7 shift-work role. It is ideal for people who value variety and can work across a fair mix of morning, afternoon/evening, weekend and public-holiday shifts. Some homes may also have active-night or sleepover shifts available.
This is not a morning-only, afternoon-only or Monday-to-Friday role. Applicants must have genuine availability and be willing to work the shifts required to support participants safely and consistently.
We are building reliable, familiar teams around each participant. You will be supported to learn the needs, routines, communication style and goals of the people you support, with buddy shifts and participant-specific training before working independently.
What you'll be doing
Supporting participants with day-to-day living, routines and household tasks.
Assisting with personal care, meals and medication support in line with your training and delegation.
Supporting community access, appointments, activities and personal goals.
Following individual support plans, behaviour support plans and risk-management strategies.
Building respectful, positive relationships with participants, families and colleagues.
Completing clear case notes, handovers and incident reports.
Helping maintain a safe,



welcoming and respectful home environment.
What we're looking for
You do not need to be perfect—you do need to be reliable, respectful, willing to learn and genuinely committed to supporting people well.
We would love to hear from you if you have:
Experience in disability support, SIL, aged care, mental health or complex care.
Confidence supporting people with personal care, daily living and community access.
A calm and professional approach when situations become challenging.
Strong communication skills and attention to documentation.
Availability across a mix of shifts, including weekends and public holidays.
A willingness to work within a regular roster and build consistency for participants.
Experience with behaviours of concern, non-verbal communication, mobility support, medication, complex health needs, active nights or sleepovers will be highly regarded. Training and support are available for the right person.
Essential requirements
Current NDIS Worker Screening Check.
Current Working with Children Check.
National Police Check.
Current First Aid and CPR.
Current Australian driver licence.
Reliable vehicle with registration and comprehensive insurance.
Ability to complete required onboarding, training and participant-specific buddy shifts.
