About the Role

Altitude Supports and Coordination is seeking a friendly, compassionate and experienced Disability Support Worker to join our growing team in the Atherton Tablelands.

This casual position will primarily involve providing dedicated, one-on-one support to a participant living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the beautiful Lake Barrine area, with opportunities for additional shifts supporting other participants across the Atherton Tablelands.

- Recognise and respond appropriately to changes in mobility, fatigue and support needs.

- Maintain clear and accurate case notes and communicate with the support team to ensure consistent, quality care.

- Promote independence, dignity, choice and control in all aspects of support.

There may also be opportunities to provide support to other participants,



with duties varying according to their individual needs and goals.
