This is a part-time role to start, with a genuine path to full time as your caseload builds. You'll manage your own diary and travel, visiting NDIS participants across Sydney's south and inner west, working independently in the community rather than in a clinic setting. The work is relationship-based - repeat visits with the same participants over time, not one-off appointments.
DAY TO DAY, YOU MIGHT BE
Providing wound care and pressure injury management
Undertaking catheter insertion and management (IDC/SPC)
Supporting PEG feeding and enteral nutrition
Administering medication
Conducting continence assessments and product recommendations
