Ever thought about getting into support work, but worried you’d end up at a soul-crushing corporate provider that treats people like NDIS line items?
Yeah, we hate that too.
We’re Enabled Disability Services: an all-female, values-driven team that recently snagged the 2025 ACT Chief Minister’s Award for Excellence in Access and Inclusion. Not to brag, but we take doing genuinely good work pretty seriously. We throw out the cookie-cutter checklists and focus on what actually matters, which is helping people live full, independent lives on their own terms without any patronising nonsense.
Whether you’re a seasoned support worker who’s tired of bad management or a total beginner with great energy and high emotional intelligence, we want to meet you.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing:
You’re never "just filling a shift" around here. You’re someone’s wingwoman for the day, keeping their world running smoothly, respectfully and with plenty of valuable humour.
- Daily Living & In-Home Support: Guiding morning routines, pulling together meals, keeping the house functional and assisting with personal care like bathing and grooming
- Getting Out into the Real World: Providing transport and hitting the local community to do stuff participants actually want to do, rather than sitting in a depressing food court staring at a fake fern.
- Skill Building & Good Energy: Facilitating genuine hobbies, running errands, playing board games, sharing banter and helping participants build real confidence in their daily lives.
- The Professional Side: Writing sharp, clear shift notes (yes, actual sentences matter)
and ensuring team handovers are seamless and reliable every single time.
Who You Are:
We care infinitely more about your attitude, common sense and human warmth than a ten-page resume filled with corporate buzzwords.
- Beginner-Friendly: Never worked in disability care before? Zero stress. If you have high EQ, real empathy and a genuine willingness to learn, we can teach you the rest.
- Rock-Solid Reliable: You show up on time, keep your promises, bring a positive vibe and leave the personal drama firmly at the front door.
- An Actual Human Being: You know how to read a room, listen without interrupting, adapt when plans shift and connect with people on an authentic level.
- The Non-Negotiables: You're aged 18 or over with a driver’s licence, a reliable car, Australian work rights and a WWVP card plus Police Check (or the willingness to grab them before starting).
Why You’ll Want to Stick Around:
- An Award-Winning Squad: Join a supportive, all-female team that treats trauma-informed and neuro-affirming support as standard operating practice, not a catchy marketing slogan.
- Genuine Flexibility & Great Pay: Enjoy flexible casual shifts that actually respect your life outside of work, backed by competitive rates for your time and energy.
- Zero Micromanagement: We give you total backing, thorough training and the right tools, then trust you to do your job like a capable adult.
If you’ve got the backbone, the brain and the heart to do work that genuinely matters, stop scrolling.
