We're looking for casual Disability Support Workers to join our team in Newcastle, with most shifts based around our homes in Gateshead and Argenton. The majority of this work supports Individualised Living Options (ILO) participants - people who have chosen how and where they live, and want support that fits around their life rather than the other way around. This role suits someone who is genuinely patient and enjoys building a proper relationship with the people they support. Our ILO participants are working towards their own goals, so a lot of the job is encouragement, consistency and turning up as someone they can rely on.

Responsibilities

- Supporting participants to get out into the community - appointments, shopping, social outings and activities they enjoy;
- Domestic assistance around the home, including cleaning, laundry, meal preparation and grocery shopping;
- Providing support in line with each participant's support plan;




- Helping participants work towards the goals set out in their NDIS plan;
- Helping organise day-to-day life - routines, appointments, reminders and general structure;
- Encouraging participation in daily activities and building independence at the participant's own pace;
- Providing emotional support and genuine companionship.

Requirements

- NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain one before starting);
- NDIS Worker Orientation Module certificate - “Quality, Safety and You”;
- Current First Aid and CPR certificates;
- Valid Australian driver's licence and a reliable, comprehensively insured vehicle (we pay a kilometre allowance for participant travel);
- The right to work in Australia;
- Reliability and positive communication - participants depend on shifts being covered.
