We are looking to fill multiple positions for our backfill casual pool. This role would be great as a second job to earn some extra cash, or for a univerity student who wants to pick up some occasional shifts!

The Vibe

At BEST, we do things differently to the rest of the industry, so we need someone who is truly invested in our mission. You will be supporting - not leading - our Members as they learn new life and work skills, and you will have a passion or talent that you can share with them as well!

Your Main Quest

As a Support Worker, known as a Mentor, you will be responsible for the safety, fun, and learning of young people with disabilities.

Your day-to-day tasks will include, but are not limited to:

Assisting Members as they learn new skills in one of our many programs.

Ensuring Member safety both on campus and when out in the community.

Providing emotional and social support to Members.

Investing in the success of our Members and supporting them to achieve their goals.

Your Skills

Prior experience and/or qualifications in the community services sector is desirable but not essential. The absolute must-haves:

Ability to work in a fast-paced workplace: No seriously, we’re constantly on the move whether that be on campus or at parks, shops, and more!

Be a jack-of-all-trades: Diverse backgrounds and skills are key to ensuring our Members have exposure to a wide range of experiences,



so be sure to let us know of any of your weird, wacky, and wonderful areas of interest.

A compassionate personality: You must be a patient, kind, and caring person as we will not accept anything less

Be and have fun: We want all of our staff and Members to love coming to BEST, so being someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously is essential (singing and dancing badly is encouraged)

Belief in the BEST mission: We want our Members to actually learn the skills they need to achieve their goals, and eventually not need us anymore!
