Disability Support Workers

Do you feel passionately about supporting people to live their life with choice, control and dignity? Do you value inclusivity, self-expression and mutual respect (with a splash of rainbow energy 🌈)?

We are seeking a social, vibrant Support Worker for our feminist Female client in Wooloowin.

Whether it’s heading out to a community event, singing her heart out at choir or getting competitive in a game of Boccia, our Client lives life colourfully and actively.

She values open and honest communication, creating a space where everyone feels respected, celebrated, and genuinely heard.

Shifts that are available:

Monday to Friday – 6:30am to 9:30am, 6:30am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm to 8:00pm
Saturday & Sunday – 6:30am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm to 8:00pm

The role includes personal care, assistance with housework, meal prep and community access. Experience with hoists/manual handling and stoma care would be awesome, but not essential.

Important to note: Due to insurance requirements, we’re looking for someone aged 25+ with a valid licence, as the Client has a new, fully accessible vehicle waiting to hit the road.

You’ll be supported every step of the way with a comprehensive care plan and our brilliant Support Specialist team.
