Launceston, Tasmania | Casual / Part-Time | On-the-Job Training Provided

We are seeking compassionate and motivated people to join a small, established support team, providing personalised in-home and community support to an individual living with a progressive physical disability.

This role operates under a direct-employment model, meaning you will work directly for the person you support as part of their dedicated team.

Previous disability support experience is not essential. We are interested in people from a range of professional backgrounds who have transferable skills, the right attitude and a genuine willingness to learn. Comprehensive on-the-job training and ongoing support will be provided.

We Would Love to Hear From You If You Have Experience In:

- Fitness, health and wellbeing

- Massage therapy

- Hospitality, food service or customer service

- Cleaning and home support

- Music, Art and creative activities

- Beauty and personal care

- Disability, health or community services

- Sport, recreation and outdoor activities

Your experience doesn't need to be in disability support. We value the skills, interests and life experience you can bring to the role.

About the Role

Working one-to-one within the person's home and community, you may provide support with:

- Personal care and daily routines

- Safe transfers, positioning and mobility

- Meal preparation and household tasks

- Community access, appointments and outings

- Individual interests, hobbies and wellbeing activities

- Secure use of assistive equipment

- Following individualised care plans and established routines

- Maintaining accurate support documentation

- Working collaboratively with the support team and allied health professionals





- Participating in ongoing training specific to the person's needs

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

- Good communicator and active listener

- Reliable, professional and willing to learn

- Comfortable providing one-to-one support

- Confident working independently in a person's home

- Able to work collaboratively as part of a small team

- Respectful of privacy, dignity, choice and professional boundaries

- Committed to providing consistent, high-quality support

- Caring, respectful and person-centred

Experience supporting people with physical disability, complex support needs or neuromuscular conditions is highly regarded but not essential.

What We Offer

- Paid on-the-job training and induction

- Training specific to the person's individual support needs

- Ongoing mentoring and support

- Flexible casual and part-time opportunities

- A small, supportive and person-centred team

- Meaningful work where consistency, relationships and quality support matter
