Disability Support Worker – Expression of Interest

George Gray Centre has been supporting people with disabilities in the Wellington Shire for almost 60 years. We run Day Services, Supported Employment, accommodation and respite programs across Maffra and Sale, working alongside more than 80 participants to help them build the lives they want.

We’re looking for a casual Disability Support Worker to join our Maffra and Sale teams. Hours are varied and rostered around participant needs, so this suits someone after flexibility who’s happy to pick up shifts as they come up.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting participants with personal care and daily living activities
• Helping participants take part in community events and stay connected to their community
• Working alongside families, carers and other services involved in a participant’s life
• Contributing to person-centred plans and keeping accurate records and case notes
• Supporting participants to make their own choices and advocate for themselves

What you’ll need:

• A commitment to supporting the goals, skills and choices of people with disabilities
• The ability to build positive relationships with participants and respect their privacy
• Good problem-solving and conflict management skills, and the ability to work well independently and as part of a team
• NDIS Worker Screening Check and current Australian driver’s licence
• First Aid and CPR certificates (or willingness to obtain)

A Certificate or Diploma relevant to disability support is desirable but not essential. We’ll support the right candidate to build these skills on the job.
