Disability Support Worker - Daily Living & Community Access (Male)

Wheare Support Services supports people with disability across the Adelaide Hills and metro Adelaide. We're a small, hands-on team — you'll be known by name, not by a payroll number.

We're currently hiring several experienced male Support Workers to support participants with daily living and community participation.

You'll mostly work one-on-one with participants, with occasional 1:2 shifts supporting two participants at once. The work involves helping them get out, stay connected and build independence. Shifts are typically a mix of support at home and time in the community:

• Going for walks, grabbing a coffee, running errands

• Getting to appointments and activities

• Support with everyday living skills around the home

• Social connection and helping participants pursue their own interests and goals

• Occasional respite shifts

• Occasional short interstate trips supporting participants to travel

• Shift notes and incident reporting

Most shifts involve one or two activities at an easy pace, rather than a packed schedule. This role does not involve personal care.

We match workers to participants deliberately and keep those matches stable, so you build genuine relationships rather than meeting someone new every shift.

Work is available across the Adelaide Hills and metro Adelaide, and we build rosters around your availability.

Alongside regular shifts, we occasionally offer respite work and short interstate trips supporting participants to travel. These are entirely optional — if they're not for you, that's no problem, and if they are, they're a genuinely enjoyable part of the job.

Essential

• Previous paid support work experience

• Reliability and punctuality — participants plan their week around their supports, so this matters more than anything else on this list

• Good communication, patience and an easy-going manner

• Current Australian driver's licence and a confident driver — a fair bit of this role involves driving, including Hills and country roads. A work vehicle is provided.

• NDIS Worker Check (SA)

• Working with Children Check (SA)

• NDIS Worker Orientation Module — "Quality, Safety and You"

• First Aid and CPR [current / or willing to obtain]

• Full working rights in Australia

Highly regarded

• Certificate III or IV in Individual Support (Disability) or Community Services — a bonus, not essential. Solid hands-on experience matters more, and we'll support you to gain your Cert III.

These vacancies are to support male participants who have requested male support workers. Being male is a genuine occupational requirement for these positions.

• Above-award pay with penalty rates

• Meal allowance on shifts longer than 8 hours

• Work vehicle provided — you won't be using your own car or covering the fuel

• Flexible rosters built around your availability

• Consistent participant matching

• Ongoing training, supervision and a manager who picks up the phone

Click Apply with your resume and a short cover letter telling us about your support work experience and your availability. Shortlisted applicants will have a phone chat, then a meet-and-greet with the participant so both sides can see how you get on.
