Disability Support Worker – Casual

Greensborough VIC 3088 | One-to-One Support | Small Team

One person. One small team. A genuinely individualised role.

Are you a warm, reliable and experienced Disability Support Worker who believes great support is about knowing the person, not just completing the tasks?

We are seeking a compassionate and capable Disability Support Worker to join a small team supporting one man with intellectual disability to live a meaningful, connected and increasingly independent life in his own home and local community.

This role is about much more than personal care and daily routines.

You will support one person across his home and community life, helping him develop independence, maintain meaningful relationships and enjoy the activities and interests that are key to him.

Depending on the day, this may include:

- Preparing meals and assisting with household tasks

- Supporting community access and social participation

- Visiting favourite places and pursuing personal interests
