To our future Support Worker...

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us!

If you’re someone who cares deeply about the people you support, takes pride in doing your job well and wants to be part of a team that shares those values, we’d love to meet you.

At Support Services SA, we know that great support starts with great people. People who listen, follow through on their commitments and take the time to understand what matters to someone.

We’re a small, growing Adelaide provider building something we want to be proud of for years to come: a service participants and families can rely on, and a workplace where dedicated support workers feel valued and connected.

We’re looking for warm, reliable and experienced people to join us. People who encourage independence, celebrate achievements and understand that the little things often make the biggest difference to someone’s day.

We’re hiring across Adelaide Metro - We have opportunities throughout metropolitan Adelaide, with immediate vacancies in the participant teams below.

We take matching seriously. Your experience, personality, interests and availability all help us find the right fit. Successful matches offer opportunities to support familiar participants and become a valued member of their team.

We’re seeking two to three female support workers to join a team supporting a young woman with complex needs.

Relevant PEG feeding and CPAP training and experience are essential. You’ll need to be attentive, follow support instructions carefully and communicate clearly in a way the participant understands.

Support takes place in a family home with children and dogs. Respect for the family’s faith, values and routines is important. The participant enjoys dancing, art and sport.

Weekday shifts vary between 7am and 8pm, including approximately four, six and eight-hour shifts. Weekend shifts are 7am–11:30am and 11:30am–8pm.

Ongoing opportunities are available, with an immediate start following onboarding.

We’re seeking a dependable male support worker to support a young man with complex psychosocial and disability support needs.

This is a community-based role requiring continuous supervision, attention to detail and experience responding calmly when someone becomes distressed or overwhelmed. You’ll use trauma-informed approaches and follow support plans to help him feel safe and engaged.

His interests include sport, cars, food, animals, movies and comedy.

Shifts are available Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm, with ongoing opportunities and an immediate start following onboarding.

Someone who enjoys joining in with sport and community activities would be a strong match.
