About the Contract
n
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 reliable, meaningful ongoing work.
