? Become a Mentor with Australian Mentoring Services (AMS)
We're looking for people who want to make a real difference — not just fill a shift.
At
Australian Mentoring Services (AMS)
, we do things a little differently.
You might know this role as a
Support Worker
, but at AMS we call our people
Mentors
— because we believe the role is about so much more than providing support.
It's about
empowering people, building confidence, developing skills, creating opportunities and helping someone live a life worth living.
We're currently looking for
Permanent Part-Time Mentors
to join our team across
Liverpool, Fairfield and Roselands
, supporting participants with
psychosocial disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
.
What does being a Mentor mean?
Being a Mentor is about getting to know the person, understanding what matters to them and supporting them to work towards their own goals.
Some days might involve helping someone develop their cooking, budgeting or household skills.
Other days could be getting out into the community, supporting someone to reconnect with family or culture, building social connections, attending appointments or simply being there when someone needs a little encouragement.
You're not there to do everything
for
someone — you're there to help them discover what they
can
do.
And sometimes, the biggest wins are the little ones.
We're not looking for bums on seats.
We're looking for people who genuinely want to
make a difference in someone's life
.
You'll need to be someone who:
Builds genuine, respectful relationships
Is patient, empathetic and non-judgemental
Can see the person, not just the disability
Celebrates the small wins
Is comfortable working with people who may have complex needs or behaviours
Can encourage independence while providing the right level of support
Is reliable, resilient and able to think on your feet
Wants to learn and grow alongside the people you support
Previous experience in
disability, mental health, psychosocial support, youth work, community services or a similar environment
is highly regarded.
But just as important to us is
who you are and why you want to do this work.
What you'll be doing
As a Mentor, you will support participants in their homes and in the community to:
Develop daily living and independent living skills
Build confidence and work towards personal goals
Develop social connections and participate in the community
Access education, employment and other opportunities
Develop cooking, cleaning, meal planning and budgeting skills
Build positive routines and healthy relationships
Work towards greater independence and self-determination
Implement Individual Support Plans and Behaviour Support Plans
Provide a safe, respectful and empowering environment
You'll work both independently and as part of a team, always respecting the rights, choices and goals of the people we support.
? Where are the opportunities?
We are currently recruiting for opportunities across:
Liverpool | Fairfield | Roselands | Southwest Sydney
Shire
Our participants have different needs, personalities, goals and interests — so no two days are exactly the same.
Come and meet us!
We believe recruitment should be a
two-way conversation
.
Our interviews are held
face-to-face at our AMS Head Office in Campbelltown
, where you'll have the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about AMS and get a real feel for what we do.
We want you to ask questions too — because finding the right fit works both ways.
Why AMS?
At AMS, we support people who may have been overlooked or told that certain things aren't possible.
We believe in
possibility, connection and empowerment
.
We want our Mentors to come to work knowing that what they do matters — because the relationships you build and the support you provide can genuinely change someone's day, their confidence and, over time, their life.
You'll also have access to:
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
A supportive and values-led team
Ongoing learning and development
The chance to build meaningful relationships with the people you support
A workplace where your contribution is valued
✅ To join the AMS team, you'll need:
Valid NSW Driver's Licence P2 or Full Licence
NDIS Worker Check
NSW Working with Children Check
Ability to work within a rotating roster, including some evenings, weekends and overnight shifts
A genuine commitment to supporting people to achieve their goals
Ready to be more than a Support Worker?
If you're looking for a role where you can
build relationships, create opportunities and genuinely make a difference
, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply now and start your journey with Australian Mentoring Services.
We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability and people with lived experience of mental health conditions.
