About the role

You will be working 1:1 with a participant who has complex support requirements. Because the participant is non-verbal, your ability to read subtle behavioural cues and understand that "behaviour is communication" is paramount. This is a highly clinical, meticulously structured household.

Key responsibilities
Executing strict IDDSI Level 4 (Pureed) and Level 2 (Mildly Thick) mealtime management to mitigate severe choking and aspiration risks
Monitoring for non-verbal cues of distress and implementing proactive Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies—strictly without the use of restrictive practices
Managing complex epilepsy protocols, including immediate emergency response for convulsive seizures
Executing personal care routines, manual handling, and exact clinical documentation

About you

Formal qualifications in Disability Support, Nursing, or a related field
A HLTHPS006 "Assist Client with Medication" Certificate
Demonstrated prior experience in high-intensity clinical support
A valid First Aid Certificate, CPR Certificate, and National Police Check (or a willingness to obtain these before the commencement of your first shift)
