Mentor (Support Worker) | Permanent Part-Time | Disability Support

Southwest Sydney Liverpool, Fairfield, Roselands, & Sutherland Shire

Become a Mentor with Australian Mentoring Services (AMS)

You might know this role as a Support Worker. At AMS, we call our people Mentors, because the role is about so much more than providing support. It’s about empowering people, building confidence, developing skills, creating opportunities and helping someone live a life worth living.

We are an established, NDIS-registered provider of Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Community Participation Support. We support people with psychosocial, neurodevelopmental (including Autism Spectrum Disorder), cognitive and intellectual disability. We’re now recruiting Permanent Part-Time Mentors across Liverpool, Fairfield, Roselands, Southwest Sydney and the Sutherland Shire.

What does being a Mentor mean?

It means getting to know the person, understanding what matters to them and supporting them to work towards their own goals. You’re not there to do everything for someone. You’re there to help them discover what they can do. Sometimes the biggest wins are the little ones.

As a Mentor, you will support participants in their homes and in the community to:

- Develop daily living skills such as cooking, cleaning, meal planning and budgeting
- Build confidence and work towards personal goals and greater independence
- Make social connections, reconnect with family and culture, and take part in community life
- Access education, employment and other opportunities
- Build positive routines and healthy relationships

Day to day, you will also:

- Implement Individual Support Plans and Behaviour Support Plans, including medication and mealtime plans
- Provide personal care where required, always with dignity and respect for each person’s preferences




- Write shift notes, collect data, complete incident reports and take part in shift handovers
- Work independently and as part of a team, always respecting people’s rights, choices and goals

Who you are
- Someone who builds genuine, respectful relationships
- Patient, empathetic and non-judgemental, and able to see the person, not just the disability
- Comfortable supporting people with complex needs or behaviours
- Reliable, resilient and able to think on your feet
- Keen to learn and grow alongside the people you support

Experience in disability, mental health, psychosocial support, youth work or community services is highly regarded. Just as important to us is who you are and why you want to do this work.

What you’ll need

- NDIS Worker Check and NSW Working with Children Check
- NSW Driver’s Licence (P2 or Full) and access to a comprehensively insured car
- A current First Aid & CPR Certificate
- We offer 32 hours a fortnight minimum

Our standard shifts are as follows:

- 6am – 2pm
- 2pm-10pm
- 2pm-10pm + Sleepover
- 10pm – 6am

What you’ll get
- Pay under the SCHADS Award, including penalty rates and loadings.
- Permanent part-time hours, with a transparent contracted roster
- Support and development sessions every 6 weeks, annual performance reviews and ongoing training
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- A supportive team built on Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence and Transparency, with a Team Leader to guide you
