About the Role

We are looking for experienced, reliable Support Workers to join a small, consistent team supporting a woman living with an acquired brain injury (ABI).

She is warm, insightful and values dignity, routine and genuine connection. Her interests include coffee, cooking, music, gardening, home-based activities, community outings and spending time with her cavoodle.

This is a hands-on role, not companionship only. You will be actively supporting daily life, including:

- Personal care (showering, hygiene)

- Supporting routines, structure and task sequencing

- Cooking, meal prep and household tasks

- Community access and appointments





- Medication administration

- Emotional support and reassurance

- Fatigue management and cognitive support

Routine and consistency are critical. Support needs fluctuate daily depending on fatigue, cognition and pain, so you must be calm, patient and adaptable.

Communication is impacted by the ABI. You will need to use:

- Clear, simple spoken English

- Short instructions and repetition

- Patience, reassurance and humour

- Awareness that fatigue may present as anxiety, confusion or resistance

You will be joining a stable, relationship-based team with strong expectations around consistency, communication and collaboration. Family are involved and clear support strategies are in place.

Available shifts

- Wednesday, Friday & Saturday day shifts (6–10 hrs)

- Sunday (8:00am – 2:00pm)

- Tuesday & Thursday inactive sleepovers

- Additional shifts may become available

Who You Are

You are in this work to genuinely make a difference and understand that good support is built on trust, patience and consistency.

You are

- Calm, emotionally regulated and patient

- Reliable and consistent (this matters)

- Warm, respectful and relationship-focused

- Observant, proactive and adaptable

- Comfortable providing personal care

- Team-oriented and able to follow established routines

- Confident cooking and engaging in everyday activities

You communicate clearly, keep things simple, and can support someone through confusion, fatigue or overwhelm without escalating the situation.

Essential

- NDIS Worker Screening Clearance

- First Aid & CPR

- Driver’s licence and reliable vehicle





- Willingness to provide hands-on care

- Strong communication and teamwork skills

Highly regarded
- Cert III / EN qualifications

- Experience with ABI, neurological conditions or dementia

- Understanding of trauma-informed and person-centred practice

Best suited to someone who:
- Wants long-term, consistent work

- Values relationship-based support over task-focused care

- Can work within an established team and follow structure

- Is adaptable to changing support needs

Not suitable if you
- Prefer purely task-based roles

- Are unreliable or inconsistent

- Are uncomfortable with personal care

- Are looking for short-term work
