Make a genuine connection through shared faith and meaningful support
We're looking for a warm, compassionate and energetic Support Worker for a beautiful human with significant physical disabilities who values genuine connection with the people supporting her.
She enjoys getting out and about, meeting people, spending time at the gym and relaxing in her beautiful garden. Her
Christian faith is an extremely important part of her life and identity
, and she is particularly looking for someone who shares her faith and can connect with her through conversation, prayer and a shared knowledge of the Bible.
About her support needs
She lives with
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA)
, a progressive neurological condition that significantly affects her movement, coordination and speech. She is still sharp as a tack, has a wicked sense of humour, and is an author and poet with plenty to say despite the challenges she experiences communicating
She has extremely limited mobility and relies heavily on her Support Workers for most aspects of everyday life, from transfers and personal care to helping stretch and reposition her when her muscles spasm.




She has significant challenges with verbal communication and primarily uses eye gaze, together with some limited speech, to communicate. Patience, compassion, good listening skills and a genuine willingness to take the time to understand her are essential.
This is a hands-on, high-intensity support role involving:
PEG feeding

good human

Experience is important, but
your attitude and personality matter even more
.
Training in her specific support needs will be provided to the right person

faith, relationships and community
.
