Job Description

n

Ever wished you could earn great money doing something genuinely meaningful, without sitting in traffic, staring at spreadsheets, or dealing with office politics?

n

Well, keep reading...

n

At Our Family Respite (OFR), we do disability respite differently.

n

We're a family-run, NDIS-registered provider that matches children, teenagers and adults living with disability with carefully selected respite carers who can provide a safe, welcoming home away from home.

n

Our model is built on relationships, not rosters.

n

We're growing rapidly across NSW and are looking for compassionate individuals, couples and families who would love to open their home and make a real difference in someone's life.

What Does the Role Involve? n

As a Disability Respite Host Carer, you'll welcome participants into your home for short stays, weekend respite, school holiday programs and community-based experiences.

n

Some participants may simply enjoy movies, baking, gaming, swimming, trips to the park or hanging out with your family. Others may enjoy outings, adventures and trying current things.

n

The role is less about 'caregiving' and more about being a supportive host, mentor and positive role model.

n

Most importantly, you'll be giving families a much-needed break while creating meaningful experiences for participants.
