We are looking for an experienced, confident Disability Support Worker to provide dedicated, ongoing support to a specific participant in the Bundaberg region.
This participant has complex support needs and requires someone who is calm under pressure, consistent, and genuinely committed to building a trusting, long-term relationship.
This isn't a general pool role, it's a meaningful, dedicated position for someone who is ready to show up with purpose every shift.
About the Role
You will work as part of a small, close-knit support team alongside other DSWs and a dedicated coordinator.
Shifts include a mix of mornings, evenings, active awake nights, and some weekends, depending on participant needs.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
Delivering high-quality, person-centred support to a participant with complex behaviours and Restrictive Practices
Implementing Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs) and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) frameworks with consistency and care
Building genuine rapport with your participant, their family, and their support network
Assisting with personal care, daily living activities, and light domestic tasks
Supporting community access and helping the participant work towards their NDIS plan goals
Maintaining accurate progress notes, incident reports, and documentation in line with NDIS standards
About You
To thrive in this role, you'll bring:
Certificate III or IV in Disability, Individual Support, or a related field (or working towards)
Demonstrated experience supporting participants with complex behaviours,



including knowledge of Restrictive Practices and BSP implementation
Experience working within PBS frameworks — you understand proactive strategies, not just reactive responses
A calm, grounded presence under pressure — you don't rattle easily
Genuine warmth and the ability to build authentic relationships with participants from all walks of life
Reliability and consistency — your participant will depend on you turning up, and turning up well
Access to your own vehicle for travel between shifts
Eligibility to work in Australia
Mandatory Requirements
All candidates must hold (or be willing to obtain prior to commencement):
Current Blue Card (Working with Children Check — Queensland)
Current National Police Check (within 3 years)
Why Join For Care?
Hourly rate based on experience, plus applicable SCHADS Award loadings for evenings, weekends, active nights, and sleepovers — your take-home is more than the base rate suggests
Dedicated coordinator support and regular check-ins — we know complex support work is demanding and we want you to feel genuinely backed
A small, experienced team that communicates well and looks out for each other
Ongoing, stable hours with a participant who genuinely perks from consistency
Real opportunities to grow your skills and career in the disability sector
An organisation that puts both participants and workers first — not just on paper
