About Us
West End Support Services has proudly supported the Ballarat community since 2017. We deliver personalised, high-quality supports that promote dignity, independence and inclusion.
We’re looking for passionate, reliable Disability Support Workers to join our team on sleepover shifts across our Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes.
Respecting Participant Choice
These positions involve supporting female participants who have chosen female support workers for their care. To respect their choice, privacy and dignity, these roles are open to female applicants only.
We’re recruiting female support workers for this need, but we can’t guarantee that every shift will be in a female-only environment. You may also support male participants, so adaptability is hugely important.
About the Role
Each sleepover shift starts with active afternoon and evening support from 3:30pm or 5:00pm. That’s followed by an overnight sleepover in the home and morning support until 9:00am. You’ll help participants live as independently as possible while keeping them secure and well and supporting their quality of life.
Your responsibilities will include
- Afternoon, evening and morning support with daily living and independent living skills

- Cooking, cleaning and general household duties
- Writing accurate, up-to-date progress notes
