Support Worker

As a Permanent Part-Time Disability Support Worker, you'll enjoy guaranteed contracted hours, a consistent roster and the opportunity to build genuine relationships with the people you support. You'll know what you're working, what you're earning and have the peace of mind that comes with permanent employment.

Every day, you'll support people with disability to live independently, achieve their goals and enjoy meaningful lives within their community. Whether you're assisting with daily living, personal care, community participation or building life skills, you'll make a real difference through compassionate, person-centred support.

What you'll be doing

• Help someone tick off a goal they've been working towards — big or small
• Be a steady, familiar face for personal care, household tasks and getting out into the community
• Back people to make their own choices and have real say over their day
• Stay calm and grounded when things get unpredictable, including with complex behaviours
• Build trust that lasts, backed by solid documentation and a team that has your back

You're the right person if...

• You've supported people with disability before, including complex behaviours or higher support needs
• You stay calm and professional under pressure, and don't rattle easily
• You know how to build real connection while keeping clear boundaries
• You communicate clearly and keep on top of your notes and records
• You're reliable and flexible, and genuinely want to keep learning
