Equal Access Care is building a small, consistent long-term team to support a young man in the Adelaide Hills who has complex support needs. Many providers haven't been the right fit for him, so we're looking for people who genuinely want to stay and make a difference over time. Female workers are preferred for this role to match the participant's support needs; we also welcome calm, patient, unshockable male workers with complex-behaviour experience. About the shifts - Funded up to 7 days a week, so multiple shifts are available, shared across a small team - Mostly companionship: watching TV, gaming, chatting and hanging out - Meal preparation (he's particular about his food, so patience and flexibility help) - An interest in gaming, anime, TV or horses is a real plus - The home isn't always tidy and the participant smokes, including when travelling in your car, so you'll need to be relaxed about both About you - Experienced, mature, calm, unshockable and non-judgemental - Solid, clear boundaries set early,
then warm and relaxed within them - You validate feelings and accept the person as they are, without trying to change or "fix" them - Comfortable supporting someone who may talk openly about difficult past experiences - You don't take things personally and you don't argue - Experience with complex behaviours or behaviours of concern, trauma or mental health, and you can apply de-escalation training in the moment - Reliable and consistent, and committed to staying long-term. Consistency really matters here. What we provide - A full induction and 1:1 training with the behaviour support practitioner before your first shift - Debriefs after shifts and ongoing support You'll need - NDIS Worker Screening Check - SA Working With Children Check - Current First Aid and CPR - Driver's licence and your own car Mature, experienced workers are especially encouraged to apply.
