Disability Support Worker (Casual)
Psych Connect NDIS Support | Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and Bayside (Redlands)

Pay: A$36–A$40 an hour on weekdays (depending on experience), with higher rates on weekends, especially Sundays.
Pay increase after probation: when you complete your 3-month probation, you'll be eligible for a performance-based pay increase (terms and conditions apply).
Hours: 25–38 hours a week may be available.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY

The people we support plan their whole week around their support workers. When a worker says they're available and then isn't, the person who misses out is someone who was counting on help to get ready, eat, or get to an appointment.

So we're clear about what we need from day one:

- You can work at least 3 days every week, including Saturday. Sunday as well is a big plus.
- The availability you give us is the availability you'll actually work, week in, week out, not "open" or "flexible" on paper.
- You can keep that availability for at least your first 3 months.

If you can't commit to 3 days every week including Saturdays at the moment, that's completely fine, but this role isn't the right fit right now. Please don't apply. It saves you and us time.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Give person-centred support that respects each person's choices, goals and routines
- Help with personal care, daily living, meal preparation and household tasks
- Support people to get out into the community: appointments, recreation and social activities
- Help people build skills and independence
- Follow support plans, and positive behaviour support plans where they're in place
