Project Epic
Sutherland Shire Council
Founded by a paediatric clinical nurse and a special education teacher, Project Epic was built on the belief that people with disabilities deserve the same awesome experiences as everyone else. No exceptions.
Based in the heart of the Sutherland Shire, we run community access, centre-based activities, and life skills programs for children, teens, and young adults with disabilities. Our programs are designed to build confidence, develop independence, and most importantly create genuinely fun, meaningful moments.
We're a tight-knit crew that knows every participant by name, learns what they love, and shows up every day ready to make it count. Our values spell it out: Embrace. Promote. Inspire. Connect.
Who we are:
Founded by a paediatric clinical nurse and a special education teacher, Project Epic was built on the belief that people with disabilities deserve the same awesome experiences as everyone else. No exceptions.
Based in the heart of the Sutherland Shire, we run community access, centre-based activities, and life skills programs for children, teens, and young adults with disabilities. Our programs are designed to build confidence, develop independence, and most importantly create genuinely fun, meaningful moments.
We're a tight-knit crew that knows every participant by name, learns what they love, and shows up every day ready to make it count. Our values spell it out: Embrace. Promote. Inspire. Connect.
What you'll do:
- Create memorable and impactful experiences through fun, carefully planned outings and activities.
- Build strong, trusting relationships with participants by learning about their unique needs and preferences.
- Support skill development and social growth, contributing to each participant's confidence and independence.
- Ensure safety and inclusivity are always top priorities, promoting positive, accessible experiences for everyone involved.
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Can stay calm, patient, and positive when things don't go to plan (because sometimes they won't, and that's okay)
- Are a natural relationship-builder who earns trust through consistency and care
- Bring energy, creativity, and a willingness to get involved, whether that's an art project, a bushwalk, or an impromptu dance-off
- Understand that "support" looks different for every person, and you're adaptable enough to meet people where they are
Why you’ll love working here:
- Guaranteed permanent part time hours with real stability, not the shift-by-shift guessing game
- Flexible additional hours so you can pick up extra shifts that work around your life. This includes overnight and respite shifts.
- SCHADS Award pay with room to grow, we recognise experience and reward progression!
- Advanced in-house training with access to our custom learning platform to keep building your skills on your terms
- Staff chosen paid education nights, you'll get paid to learn, not just expected to show up
- A supportive, close-knit team you'll actually know the people you work with (and genuinely like them)
- Meaningful work with real impact, our small ratios mean real relationships with our participants.
What you'll require:
- NDIS Screening Check
- First Aid & CPR Certificate
- Working with Children Check
- A Full Drivers License
- Willingness to complete required online learning modules
Experience in disability support, education, allied health, or youth work is a bonus, but the right attitude and a passion for working with children and teens with disabilities matters more than a stacked resume.
