We are looking for values-driven, compassionate, and committed Support Workers to join our unbeatable workforce

At Fighting Chance, we believe everyone should have unrestricted access to homes, not just houses. Our housemates and families choose who supports them, how they are supported and when. Our homes are welcoming and don’t feel like workplaces or institutions. Our residents live full and enriching lives on their own terms.

Fighting Chance’s new accommodation enterprise puts people with disabilities and their families at the forefront of choice about how accommodation services are delivered. Set to expand rapidly over the next few years, our innovative model of supported independent living focuses on a person-centred, family governance model. At the core of this is the Family Governance Committee who collaborate with their team to ensure that true choice and control are prioritised for all housemates.
