What We Are Looking For

We are particularly interested in Support Worker applicants whose first language is English, with strong conversational skills and the confidence to build rapport through natural, engaging communication.

Male Support Worker Preferred A male Support Worker is strongly preferred, ideally someone aged 25–45 who is outgoing, approachable, positive, and confident engaging in community activities.

We are looking for someone who is naturally social, talkative, energetic, and motivating while remaining respectful of the participant’s individual preferences, choices, and independence.

Our preferred candidate will be:

- Male, as strongly preferred for this support arrangement.
- Ideally aged 25–45.
- A first-language English speaker with strong conversational abilities.
- Friendly, approachable, outgoing, and talkative.
- Positive, energetic, encouraging, and inspiring.

About The Support Arrangement The participant will initially receive one three-hour community access shift every Monday, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This is an opportunity for a Support Worker to establish a consistent and positive working relationship with the participant. If the arrangement works well for both parties, additional support hours may become available.

We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in building rapport and encouraging meaningful participation—not simply filling a rostered shift.

- Participate in meaningful experiences aligned with his interests.
