We are looking for both experienced support workers and people who are passionate about entering the disability sector and have the right attitude, values and willingness to learn.
We have immediate opportunities available, as well as ongoing opportunities to join our casual workforce as new supports and participant needs arise.
About the role
As a Disability Support Worker, you will support NDIS participants to live as independently as possible, achieve their personal goals and participate in their communities.
Depending on your skills, experience and the needs of individual participants, your responsibilities may include:

- Supporting personal care while maintaining each participant's dignity, privacy and independence.
- Assisting participants with community access, social activities, appointments and transport.

- Implementing individualised support plans and positive behaviour support strategies, where appropriately trained and authorised.
- Providing complex or high-intensity supports where you have the required training, competence and authorisation.

You will ideally demonstrate:

- The ability to work independently while following support plans and organisational procedures.
- Professional boundaries, sound judgement and respect for confidentiality.
- Flexibility to work across different shifts and support environments.
- A willingness to learn, receive feedback and develop your skills.
Previous disability support experience is highly regarded, but we also welcome suitable applicants who are new to the sector.
