Disability Support Worker | The right connection can change everything.

Unity Disability Care | Townsville, Northern QLD

Casual | Flexible availability

At Unity Disability Care, we believe great support starts with a genuine connection.

We’re looking for experienced Disability Support Workers who want to do more than tick off a task list — people who enjoy getting to know participants, discovering shared interests, and helping create days that are meaningful, enjoyable, and empowering.

Whether that means heading out for a fishing trip, working on a car, getting creative, enjoying a workout, or simply supporting someone to feel comfortable and confident in their own home, your personality, interests, and approach to support can make a real difference.

What makes Unity different?

We match support workers with participants based on compatibility, not just qualifications. We take the time to understand what matters to each participant — their interests, preferences, communication style, and the kind of support they want. This helps create stronger relationships, more meaningful support, and a better experience for everyone.

If you believe the best support is built on trust, respect, and genuine connection, we’d love to hear from you.
