Experienced Female Disability Support Worker – NDIS

Spirit Care | South-West Sydney
Part-Time | Immediate Start | Ongoing Shifts Available

We’re looking for experienced support workers - not just someone to fill a shift.

Spirit Care is looking for an experienced Female Disability Support Worker to join our growing team across South-West Sydney.

We support participants with a diverse range of needs across community access, in-home support, day programs and higher-support environments. We are looking for someone who is confident, reliable and genuinely knows how to engage with participants, take initiative and deliver high-quality person-centred support.

This role would suit an experienced Disability Support Worker who can walk into a shift, understand the participant's needs and support plan, build rapport and actively contribute to a meaningful day — without needing to be constantly directed.

Due to the personal care requirements, privacy, dignity and expressed preferences of the female participants supported in this role, being female is considered an inherent requirement of the position.

What you'll be doing

You will provide direct support to female NDIS participants and may work across our day program, community and in-home services.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Providing active, person-centred disability support

- Building genuine rapport and maintaining qualified boundaries

- Supporting participants with community access and social participation

- Encouraging independence, choice and achievement of NDIS goals

- Planning and facilitating meaningful activities rather than providing passive supervision

- Supporting personal care, hygiene and daily living activities where required

- Confidently supporting participants with behaviours of concern

- Following Behaviour Support Plans, risk assessments and participant support plans





- Recognising changes in behaviour, presentation, health or wellbeing and escalating concerns appropriately

- Responding calmly and professionally to incidents and challenging situations

- Completing clear, accurate and meaningful shift notes

- Completing incident reports promptly when required

- Communicating effectively with Team Leaders and management

- Maintaining participant dignity, privacy, safety and choice at all times

The person we're looking for

Previous disability support experience is essential.

We're particularly interested in applicants who have experience with complex needs, behaviours of concern, autism, psychosocial disability, intellectual disability, personal care or high-support participants.

You should be someone who:

- Is confident and experienced in disability support

- Is warm and engaging while maintaining professional boundaries

- Takes initiative and doesn't wait to be told what to do throughout a shift

- Can keep participants meaningfully engaged

- Remains calm during challenging behaviours or unexpected situations

- Understands professional boundaries and appropriate escalation

- Is reliable and takes punctuality seriously

- Communicates well with participants, families and colleagues

- Can follow support plans and risk-management strategies

- Understands the importance of accurate NDIS documentation

- Is comfortable receiving feedback and working within an accountable team environment

Essential requirements

Applicants must have,



or be willing and eligible to obtain where applicable:

- Relevant experience working within disability support

- NDIS Worker Screening Check

- Working With Children Check

- First Aid and CPR

- NDIS Worker Orientation Module

- Current Australian driver's licence

- Reliable and comprehensively insured vehicle

- Full Australian working rights

- Ability to undertake personal care duties

- Availability for a mixture of weekday and/or weekend shifts

A Certificate III or IV in Individual Support, Disability, Community Services or similar qualification will be highly regarded.

Why join Spirit Care?

Spirit Care is growing, and we're investing heavily in strengthening our frontline leadership and the quality of support we provide.

You'll be joining a team with dedicated operational leadership, a Team Leader and management support behind you. We want our Support Workers to feel supported, but we also expect a high standard of professionalism, accountability and participant engagement.

For the right person, there will be opportunities for regular ongoing shifts, increased hours and progression within the organisation as we continue to grow.

Most importantly, we're looking for people who want to do more than simply complete a shift. We want Support Workers who genuinely care about creating good days, building independence and achieving meaningful outcomes for the people we support.
