We are building nothing less than the best team of support workers in Adelaide's south. Ranging from the CBD to the Fleurieu Peninsula (although we've got a few outlying clients in the Northern Suburbs). The continuing expansion of Heartfelt Support will give exceptional people the chance to be a vital part of a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to equity and capability building for our clients.

We'll pay well, of course, but what we really hope to inspire you with is:

- We'll listen to you when you tell us about the clients you are assisting
- We'll treat you with respect
- We'll offer you a chance to extend your own capabilities
- You won't be second fiddle to therapists or other members of the team, you'll be recognised for the importance of what you do

So, what's the job?

Well, it's nothing more or less than assisting people with a disability to enjoy the same lifestyle as anyone else.

Think about your own life: you enjoy a trip out - to the library? To the beach? To an art class? You sometimes need to go to the shops or to visit a doctor. Do you want to work on your fitness, start a business, or catch up with someone over coffee? Well, so do people with a disability, of course. This job is to make that happen for someone who just needs some help. And always obey our Support Worker mantra, which is "Don't be boring". You may be with someone for only a few hours per week, but that may be a very important few hours to them.

So what about you?

Well, you might have a relevant qualification. Terrific! You also might not. Not everyone learns this stuff in a classroom. We love to see First Aid certificates, but it's not mandatory and we can even help you get one. You'll have to pass a bunch of worker/police checks.

More than the above, you'll have a great enthusiasm for helping others. You'll be cool in a crisis. You'll be almost obsessed with being reliable and punctual.



You'll be the sort of person that can pull apart any mistakes you make and ensure they don't happen twice. You'll be able to communicate with anyone. You'll be a roll-up-your-sleeves, no-time-like-the-present doer, not a bystander.

Did we mention horses?

We also run equine programs, so people who are comfortable with and around horses are a definite plus. It's not mandatory, but once you see their sweet little faces you'll be begging for horse shifts!

What's different about Heartfelt Support?

For starters, every staff member is in direct touch with our Directors. You'll have the mobile number and direct access to someone who will mentor, advise and guide you and to whom you can raise any urgent issues. You'll never feel like an unimportant cog in the machinery of red tape. We'll also take into account your requirements for flexibility and we will understand that your own life and responsibilities are important.

Our team has grown over the last few years and recent clients come on board every week. We do have an urgent need, but don't feel you have to apply in the next ten minutes! Take your time. We'd really enjoy a short cover letter telling us about YOU - what makes you tick. We're not just interested in what you've done but in why, how, and what you'd like to do in the future.

We are also totally committed to diversity and encourage anyone who has a disability, is a first nations person, or is of any, or no particular, gender or sexuality to apply. Tell us about it, or don't. It's your choice. Af you are looking to embark on a career and eventual promotion and more responsibilities, that's great - but we're equally comfortable if you're not. We have room for both types of people!

Start with a few hours a week and work up to full-time if you like, or if you are a student just looking for a few hours, we're comfortable with that.

So, if being helpful and needed floats your boat, then here's what we suggest:

- Apply!
