You will be working 1:1 with a participant who has complex support requirements. Because the participant is non-verbal, your ability to read subtle behavioural cues and understand that "behaviour is communication" is paramount. This is a highly clinical, meticulously structured household.
Key responsibilities
- Executing strict IDDSI Level 4 (Pureed) and Level 2 (Mildly Thick) mealtime management to mitigate severe choking and aspiration risks
- Monitoring for non-verbal cues of distress and implementing proactive Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies—strictly without the use of restrictive practices
- Managing complex epilepsy protocols, including immediate emergency response for convulsive seizures
- Executing personal care routines, manual handling, and exact clinical documentation
About you
- An active NDIS Worker Screening Card (Mandatory)
- Formal qualifications in Disability Support, Nursing, or a related field
- A HLTHPS006 "Assist Client with Medication" Certificate
- Demonstrated prior experience in high-intensity clinical support
- A valid First Aid Certificate, CPR Certificate, and National Police Check (or a willingness to obtain these before the commencement of your first shift)
- Be available to work a variety of shifts including inactive sleepover shifts.
