Female High Intensity Disability Support Worker – Complex In-Home Care

You'll be supporting a 13-year-old boy living at home with his family in Glenwood. He has dyskinetic cerebral palsy with severe dystonia and chorea secondary to a FOXG1 gene variant, refractory seizures managed via ketogenic diet and multiple medications, dysphagia managed via PEG gastrostomy, cortical visual impairment and complex communication needs. He is a responsive, engaging young person who loves music, sensory play, car shows and time outdoors. This is a genuine high-intensity role. Two carers are required for all personal cares, transfers and repositioning, and the participant cannot be left unattended at any time.

Key responsibilities

Enteral feeding via PEG gastrostomy including preparation of ketogenic diet meals and administration via syringe

Medication administration including S4/S8 medications as per care plan

Seizure monitoring, recognition and response including buccal Midazolam administration when required

Dystonia management and repositioning every 1–2 hours including overnight

Manual handling — ceiling hoist/sling transfers and top-and-tail technique

Personal cares include continence management (double incontinence, frequent changes throughout the day)

Vital signs monitoring including oxygen saturations, heart rate and temperature





Skin integrity checks and pressure care

Home therapy program delivery including physio exercises, OT activities and sensory engagement

Accompanying the participant on community outings and school transport

Skilled and reliable carer

About the Contract

This is a contract/casual role. The participant is NDIS-funded and while his need for support is consistent, ongoing and significant — with 30+ hours available per week for reliable carers — we are unable to offer permanent employment due to the nature of NDIS plan funding cycles. We value long-term team members greatly and aim to provide as much consistency and hours as possible for the right people. If you are a skilled, reliable carer this role can offer you secure, meaningful ongoing work.
