Wanted: Support Workers Who Actually Care About the "Support" Part
Caboolture and surrounding Suburbs n
Let's get something out of the way.
n
This isn't a job where you turn up, stare at your phone for four hours, write "participant had a good day" in the notes and head home.
n
We're looking for Support Workers who understand that good disability support is about helping someone live their life with greater independence, dignity and choice.
n
Our client is an established disability support provider focused on matching the right Support Worker with the right participant.
n
Not simply whoever happens to be available.
n
Because personality matters.
n Trust matters.
n
And when you're being invited into someone's home and daily life, getting that match right really matters.
The Gig n
You'll be supporting NDIS participants living independently in their own homes.
n
Most supports are relatively low intensity, but they're incredibly important to the person receiving them.
n
You might be helping with:
n
n
- Domestic assistance
n
- Meal preparation
n
- Medication prompting
n
- Transportation and community access
n
- Personal hygiene and personal care, including showering, toileting and feeding
n
- Building daily living skills
n
- Social and emotional support
n
- Companionship and getting out into the community
n
n
Some days you'll be helping someone get organised at home.
n Other days you'll be getting them out into the community.
n Sometimes the most important part of the shift might simply be having a conversation with someone who genuinely enjoys having you there.
n
That's support work.
n
The Hours Participants generally require support on a 24 / 7 rotating roster
n
We're currently looking for people who can work various shifts week days and weekends.
n
There are consistent hours and routine rosters available, but if you're happy to pick up the occasional backfill shift when another team member is away, even better.
What You'll Need n
You’ll need:
n
n
- Previous paid experience as a Disability Support Worker
n
- Completed Certificate III in Community Services or another relevant qualification
n
- Current Australian Driver's Licence
n
- First Aid Certificate with current CPR
n
- NDIS Worker Screening Check for paid employment
n
- Working with Children Check for paid employment
n
- National Police Check issued within the last six months, or willingness to obtain one
n
- Completed NDIS Worker Orientation Module
n
- Reliable smartphone with mobile data
n
n
Qualifications matter.
n
But so does the person behind them.
n
We're also looking for someone who is reliable, communicates well, respects boundaries and understands that you're supporting someone in their home and their life .
Why You’ll Actually Want This One n
You're Supported Before You Start
n
You’ll receive onboarding and orientation before commencing, along with ongoing training and development once you're part of the team.
n
You’re not handed an address and wished good luck.
n
Consistency Matters Casual doesn't have to mean wondering every Sunday night whether you’ll have work next week.
n
The aim is to provide consistent hours and routine rosters wherever possible.
n You’re Paid Properly Competitive rates, conditions and applicable weekday, weekend and overtime penalties are paid in accordance with the relevant industry award.
n
No creative mathematics.
n
Technology That Makes Your Job Easier You’ll receive access to a company tablet to complete notes, review participant care plans and sign in and out of shifts.
n
There’s also an easy-to-use rostering app where you can view and accept available shifts.
n
Someone Actually Answers the Phone You’ll have access to a supportive rostering team that’s contactable 24/7 .
n
Because needing help at 7pm isn’t particularly useful if the office opens at 9am tomorrow.
n
You’ll also have access to an Employee Assistance Program throughout your employment.
What This Isn’t Let’s save everyone some time. n
This isn’t the right role if you’re simply looking to collect as many shifts as possible.
n
It isn’t for someone who regularly cancels at the last minute.
n
And it isn’t for someone who sees participants as a list of tasks to complete.
n We’re looking for people who understand that reliability, dignity, patience and genuine human connection are part of the job.
Sound Like You? n
If you’re an experienced Support Worker looking for consistent casual work with a professional organisation that takes matching participants and workers seriously, we’d love to hear from you.
