Careers FAQs

Support worker jobs Sydney: common questions
n
What does a Field Day support worker do?
n
Support workers help children, teenagers and young adults with community access, routines, confidence, social connection and practical everyday support. The exact work depends on the participant and their goals.
n
Do I need disability support experience?
n
Experience helps, but it is not the only thing we look for. Tutoring, coaching, childcare, mentoring, youth work, volunteering, study in a related field, or strong personal qualities can all be relevant.
n
Is this suitable for university students?
n
Yes. Many people who apply for support worker jobs in Sydney are studying Psychology, OT, Speech, Nursing, Education, Social Work or similar fields. Availability, reliability and fit still matter.
n
What checks or certificates are needed?
n
Support workers generally need appropriate screening such as a Working With Children Check and police check, plus relevant onboarding and training. We can talk through what is required if your application progresses.
n
Where are the shifts located?
n
Shifts depend on family locations and worker availability. We aim to match locally where possible across Sydney.
n
How do you match support workers with participants?
n
We consider location, availability, personality, interests, experience and the type of support needed. The aim is a match that feels safe, natural and useful for the participant.
