About us
Social Plus Support Work is a locally based support provider in North Albury. We help people of all ages and abilities live the life they choose, at home, at work and in their community.
About the role
We're looking for a hands-on Support Worker to join the Social Plus Workforce Team, our crew of participants with disability who are building real work skills through gardening and maintenance jobs.
You'll work alongside participants, one-on-one or in small groups of up to three. Together you'll take on garden, grounds and minor maintenance jobs, mainly at Social Plus properties across Albury–Wodonga. The job is the vehicle. What matters most is helping each person learn, grow in confidence and become more independent.
What you'll do
Support participants at ratios from 1:1 to 1:3, in line with their plans and goals
Teach practical skills step by step, and let people try rather than doing it for them
Mow, edge, weed, prune and mulch, remove green waste and do minor maintenance, all alongside participants
Keep everyone safe with the right PPE, tools and protected work practices
Transport participants in the supplied work vehicle and look after tools and equipment
Complete shift notes that record each participant's progress toward their goals
What we're looking for
Support work experience, ideally with people with disability
Practical gardening, grounds or handyman experience, and safe use of mowers and power tools
Patience, a warm manner and a knack for teaching
Reliability and the ability to work independently
Physical fitness for outdoor work in all weather
Confidence towing a trailer
Must have
