Female NDIS Support Worker – Complex Physical Care
About Us

Nura Care is an NDIS registered provider delivering high-quality, person-centred disability supports across Brisbane and surrounding regions.

We are currently building a dedicated support team for an adult female participant with significant physical support needs who requires assistance with personal care, mobility, positioning, continence support and complex daily living activities.

This is not a standard community access role. We are seeking experienced female support workers who are confident providing hands-on complex physical support and working safely as part of a 2-3 person support team.

The Role

The participant currently experiences severe bilateral lower limb and abdominal lymphoedema associated with Milroy’s Disease and has experienced significant functional decline. She is currently largely bed-bound and requires substantial assistance with personal care, positioning and mobility.

Support workers will work as part of a structured team and must be able to follow clinical, manual handling, wound care, pressure care and allied health instructions precisely.

This role requires patience, dignity, strong communication and a high level of awareness of WHS and protected manual handling practices.

Key Duties

- Provide respectful personal care and intimate care

- Assist with bed bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene

- Support continence care, including pad changes and bed-based toileting

- Assist with repositioning and pressure care

- Support safe bed mobility

- Participate in multi-person transfers in accordance with the participant’s approved manual handling plan

- Use approved equipment including slide sheets, transfer boards, Hover Matt equipment and bariatric equipment where trained and authorised





- Assist with lymphoedema management under clinical direction

- Assist trained clinicians/support teams with compression wrap application and removal

- Monitor and report skin integrity concerns

- Assist with wound care-related routines only within worker scope, training and clinical direction

- Support meal preparation and daily living activities

- Provide medication set-up assistance in accordance with the participant’s medication plan and Nura Care policy

- Maintain the participant’s comfort and environment while she remains largely bed-based

- Maintain accurate progress notes, observations and incident reporting

- Follow all participant Care Plans, Risk Assessments and Manual Handling Plans

The hospital assessment identifies support requirements of 2–3 workers for many personal care tasks and up to four workers during the current transfer method using a Hover Matt and transfer board.
