Join a nationally recognised provider of Disability and Mental Heath services invested in helping people in our communities.

In this context, the consumer is empowered to direct their supports in a way which meets their individual needs and aspirations. Initiatives such as; iCare programs (Lifetime Care and Support Scheme, Dust Disease and Workers Care), private fee-paying arrangements and other disability related initiatives, create the environment in which these services are delivered.
We are looking for an experienced Support Worker who will enjoy supporting our participant with daily activities. The successful candidate preferably will be someone with flexible availability (highly desirable) and a commitment to providing a reliable and person-centred support to our participant.

You are an independent, proactive thinker and worker but are also able to follow direction/s given by your managers and can work within a tight-knit team.
If this, is you, you're in luck! We have the perfect opportunity for you to do all of these things - right here, with us.
