Help a Quiet, Creative Teen Build Confidence, Connection & Independence

Tuley Pty Ltd is seeking a compassionate, patient and emotionally intelligent Support Worker to support a 16-year-old autistic young woman living in the Morley area. Due to participant preference and the nature of the supports, a female worker is required for this role.

She experiences Autism Spectrum Disorder, social anxiety and selective mutism, and can be very quiet and withdrawn around unfamiliar people. She has low confidence and self-esteem and would benefit from support to gradually engage more in her community, explore her interests, develop independence and experience enjoyable activities outside the home.

- Creative activities and art-based outings

- Cafés and community outings
- Shopping
- Libraries
- Exploring new hobbies




- Local community events

The role will primarily involve community-based supports on weekdays.
