Disability Support Worker | Community Access, SIL & Sleepovers | Illawarra
Invigorate Ability Pty Ltd – Wollongong NSW
About the role
Invigorate Ability is growing in the Illawarra, and we need more Disability Support Workers who can work weekends, afternoons and evenings, and who are happy to do sleepover shifts in our Supported Independent Living (SIL) home.
You will support NDIS participants at home and out in the community across Wollongong, Shellharbour and the wider Illawarra.
Some shifts are 1:1 community participation: heading to the swimming pool, the shopping centre, afternoon commitments, sensory activities or in-home supports.
Others are in our SIL home at Huntley, where you help participants with daily living and, on a sleepover, stay overnight so they feel protected at home.
This is a part-time role, with casual options also available.
We are building a bigger local team so every participant can be matched with workers they know and get along with.
The shifts we need filled
Weekend shifts (Saturday and Sunday)
Afternoon and evening supports
Community participation supports, 1:1 out in the community
SIL shifts in our Huntley home
Sleepover shifts (overnight, with the sleepover allowance)
You don't need to cover all of these, but the more flexible you are, the more hours we can offer.
What you'll do
Support participants with daily living, personal care, meals and household tasks
Help participants get out into the community and do the things they enjoy
Encourage independence and new skills, like cooking, budgeting and getting around on their own
Follow Behaviour Support Plans,

Why work with us?

Proper training: 34 online iinduct modules plus face-to-face introductory shifts at our sites
The same participants each week, with rosters planned carefully so hours stay manageable, and nobody burns out
