Quiet environments
Spending time with family

She has low confidence and self-esteem and would benefit from support to gradually engage more in her community, explore her interests, develop independence and experience enjoyable activities outside the home.

Build confidence and self-esteem

Increase social confidence at her own pace
Develop greater independence in everyday activities

Music-related interests
Cafés and community outings
Shopping
Libraries
Exploring new hobbies
Local community events
Other activities identified collaboratively with the participant and family
The role will primarily involve community-based supports on weekdays.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
Calm, patient and emotionally regulated
Warm, kind and approachable
Able to build trust gradually and respectfully
Comfortable supporting a young person who may communicate very little initially
Skilled at connecting with teenagers who are socially anxious or withdrawn
Creative and able to identify activities aligned with a young person's interests and strengths

Why Join Tuley?
At Tuley, we believe great support starts with great relationships. We focus on person-centred, strengths-based supports that help people build confidence, develop independence and participate meaningfully in their communities.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to make a positive difference in a young person's life by helping her build confidence, expand her world, develop meaningful connections and discover new interests and opportunities.
