About the Organisation

Empowering people with disability to live life the way they choose is at the heart of how Life Without Barriers has operated for over 25 years. This is an exciting prospect to join our team and continue this mission. Support people with disability to have the choice, control, and independence to live their best life. If you’re passionate about inclusivity, respect, and making a meaningful difference, this is the career move for you.

Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose organisation of 8,000 employees working in more than 500 communities across Australia. We support children, young people and families, people with disability, older people and people with mental illness. We work with people who are homeless and refugees and asylum seekers. Join a community of people dedicated to breaking down barriers.

We want to employ people who reflect the diversity of our clients to ensure we can support each client's individual needs and wants. We encourage people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and people with disability to apply.

About the Role

Based in Bondi Junction, you will support two women to live independently and confidently in a shared home. This role is focused on building independence, supporting daily routines, and encouraging participation in the community. To provide the best support, you'll be a positive, energetic person who can build strong relationships, take initiative, and remain confident whilst working independently.

Joining our Supported Independent Living (SIL) team on a permanent part-time basis,



you will support people with disability in their home, providing assistance with daily living tasks, medication support, transport, and community access. Both clients are active in their local community through work and day programs, so you'll play a key role in helping them maintain their independence and achieve their goals.
