Yarning Crescent is an Aboriginal-led organisation supporting people living with disability, both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants and the wider community. We’re growing, and we’re looking for reliable, caring people to join our support worker team.You might already be a support worker. You might be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and know community inside out. You might be non-Indigenous and have worked alongside Aboriginal people in health, education, community services or just everyday life. Or you might be someone who has cared for family, helped out an Elder or neighbour, or simply always wanted to do this kind of work. If you have the heart for it and genuine respect for people and culture, we’d like to hear from you.

- Flexible, on-call shifts that can fit around family, study or other commitments
- A culturally secure, inclusive workplace that values your lived experience and connection to community
- A supportive team who look out for each other

Who we’re looking for

- Reliable, respectful and genuinely caring
- An open, respectful approach to working with people from all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and families.



Lived experience or previous work with community is highly valued
- Good communication skills in English, spoken and written
- A current driver’s licence and access to a reliable vehicle
- A Working with Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening Check and National Police Check, or the willingness to obtain them before starting. We’ll guide you through the process
