Contracted hours of 8am–1pm, 4–5 days per week

Job Description

Working in our community means less time sitting in an office and more time doing something meaningful. You’ll travel between clients in your local area, getting to know the people you support and helping them continue doing the things they enjoy.
Every visit is different. Every client has their own goals. And every visit matters.
What will you be doing?
As a Support Worker, you’ll provide practical and personal support that helps our clients maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life.
Your day might include:
Providing personal care and mobility assistance
Preparing meals and providing domestic support
Accompanying clients shopping or on community outings
Providing transport to appointments, with kilometres paid
Supporting clients to remain socially connected
Encouraging clients to achieve their personal goals
Building positive, respectful relationships with clients and their families
Working closely with the care team to deliver safe, high-quality support
It could be helping someone get ready for the day, preparing their favourite meal, taking them shopping or simply having a conversation over a cup of tea.
Desired Skills and Experience
It’s the everyday moments that make a real difference.

You’ll need:
