We know that finding the right work isn’t just about the hours — it’s about finding a role that works for you.

Working in our community means less time sitting in an office and more time doing something meaningful. You’ll travel between clients in your local area (travel time & kms paid), getting to know the people you support and helping them continue doing the things they enjoy.

Every visit is different. Every client has their own goals. And every visit matters.

What will you be doing?

As a Support Worker, you’ll provide practical and personal support that helps our clients maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life.

- Providing personal care and mobility assistance
- Preparing meals and providing domestic support
- Accompanying clients shopping or on community outings
- Providing transport to appointments(with kilometres paid)
- Supporting clients to remain socially connected
- Encouraging clients to achieve their personal goals
- Building positive, respectful relationships with clients and their families
- Working closely with the care team to deliver safe, high-quality support





It could be helping someone get ready for the day, preparing their favourite meal, taking them shopping or simply having a conversation over a cup of tea.

It’s the everyday moments that make a real difference.

Is this you?
