## We are seeking multiple casual staff to join our backfill pool. This role is ideal for university students studying in a relevant field. ## The Vibe At BEST, we do things differently to the rest of the industry, so we need someone who is truly invested in our mission. You will be supporting
- *not leading
*
- our Members as they learn new life and work skills, and you will have a passion or talent that you can share with them as well ## Your Main Quest As a Support Worker, known as a Mentor, you will be responsible for the safety, fun, and learning of young people with disabilities. Your day-to-day tasks will include, but are not limited to:
- Assisting Members as they learn recent skills in one of our many programs.
- Ensuring Member safety both on campus and when out in the community.
- Providing emotional and social support to Members.
- Investing in the success of our Members and supporting them to achieve their goals. ## Your Skills Prior experience and/or qualifications in the community services sector is desirable but not essential. The absolute must-haves:
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment: No seriously,
we’re constantly on the move whether that be on campus or at parks, shops, and more
- Be a jack-of-all-trades: Diverse backgrounds and skills are key to ensuring our Members have exposure to a wide range of experiences, so be sure to let us know of any of your weird, wacky, and wonderful areas of interest.
- A compassionate personality: You *must
* be a patient, kind, and caring person as we will not accept anything less
- Be and have fun: We want all of our staff and Members to love coming to BEST, so being someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously is essential (singing and dancing badly is encouraged)
- Belief in the BEST mission: We want our Members to actually learn the skills they need to achieve their goals, and eventually not need us anymore ## ESSENTIAL Certificate and Licenses You will need to have obtained the following before starting this new role:
- Blue Card
