Disability Support Worker / Enrolled Nurse – Female

About the Position

We are seeking an experienced female Disability Support Worker who is also a currently AHPRA-registered Enrolled Nurse (EN) to provide 1:1 in-home and community access support to female participant in the Wynnum area.

The participant receives 24/7 in-home support, and this position is primarily a disability support role with additional participant-specific nursing and clinical responsibilities.

Alongside day-to-day disability support, your EN qualification and clinical experience will provide an additional level of clinical knowledge and oversight in relation to the participant’s health needs, monitoring and nursing-related supports.

- Monitor the participant’s health and wellbeing, including relevant health observations, diabetes management and wound care, and appropriately escalate any changes or concerns.
- Provide person-centered 1:1 support with personal care, daily living, household tasks and community access.
- Promote independence, capacity building, choice and control while supporting the participant to achieve their individual goals.
- Maintain accurate and timely progress notes, medication records, health observations and other participant documentation.
- Working collaboratively with the participant, support team, management and relevant health professionals to maintain protected, consistent and high-quality supports.

- Experience with BGL monitoring, diabetes management, temperature, blood pressure and pulse observations.
- Experience with medication administration and management.
- Wound care knowledge and experience.
- Strong understanding of person-centred practice, capacity building, choice and control.
- Ability to recognise and appropriately escalate changes in a participant’s health or wellbeing.
- Ability to complete accurate and timely participant documentation, including progress notes, medication records and health monitoring documentation.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a support team and alongside relevant health professionals.

Availability Requirements

- This position forms part of a 24/7 in-home support roster.
- Applicants must have flexibility to work a combination of weekdays, weekends, public holidays, sleepover shifts (inactive sleepover 10pm-6am) and community access supports incorporated within AM/PM support allocation.
- Regular and consistent availability will be highly regarded.

Female Applicants

- This position is open to female applicants only due to the nature of the personal and intimate supports provided to the participant. This is a genuine occupational requirement under section 25 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Qld).
