Tim requires 24 hour active support across various shifts to enable him to live his good life. This position is currently for 2 x weekday active night shifts, with potentially more and availability for 2:1 occasional evening shifts. A commitment to regular hours is required, with capacity to assist with occasional shift coverage for team members on leave would be beneficial. We negotiate rostering flexibly and is generally negotiated 6 monthly allowing both Tim and his team to plan ahead.

Tim's health needs are becoming more complex so team members will need to be observant and alert, to continue to learn and adapt to his changing needs and facilitate Tim to continue his full valued life, while managing his complex care. Team members will need to be up to the challenge of the increased complexity of health needs, and high intensity support, as well as committed to joining in ongoing learning and development.

Tim needs support with all areas of his life and is looking for team members who will collaborate to facilitate, support and guide Tim to be as independent as possible, and maintain his high quality of life.
