Hornsby
Disability Support Worker — Evenings & Weekends
Carexcell is looking for a Disability Support Worker who genuinely lights up talking about Transformers, can hold their own in a Lego build, and knows random (but compelling!) facts about all sorts of things.
You'll be working one-to-one and in small groups with neurodivergent young people aged 15 to 30 across Hornsby and the north shore. This isn't sitting in a lounge room watching the clock. It's building rapport through the things they actually care about — gaming, music, film, collecting, tabletop campaigns, puzzles, whatever their thing is — and using that connection to build real-world skills: catching public transport, ordering at a café, managing a budget, holding a conversation with someone new, getting to a gig and home again.
The shifts
Wednesday nights
Thursday nights
Weekends (day and evening)
Ideal if you're studying, working part-time, or want consistent hours that don't eat your weekdays.
You'll be the right fit if you
Are fluent in current pop culture and can talk about it without faking it
Have run or played D&D;, or you're keen to learn quick
Get why someone might want to spend two hours discussing G1 versus Bayverse Optimus
Are steady and unflappable when someone's dysregulated, needs quiet, or when the plan needs to change entirely
Can tell the difference between someone who needs encouragement and someone who needs a break
Can adapt your communication style without being condescending about it
What you'll need
NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)
Working with Children Check — essential, as some participants are under 18
Current First Aid and CPR
Driver's licence and a reliable, comprehensively insured vehicle
NDIS Worker Orientation Module completed
Cert III in Individual Support or equivalent is excellent, but lived experience and the right attitude count for a lot
What we offer
SCHADS Award rates plus evening and weekend penalties
Consistent rostered shifts, not scattered one-offs
Ongoing training, supervision and a team that actually answers the phone
