Disability Support Worker - Immediate start!
I am a high-level quadriplegic, paralysed from the neck down, and use a battery-powered wheelchair. This type of disability requires carers to help with things like:
- Personal care - toileting (catheter care and bowel care), showering, dressing, and grooming
- Manual Handling - transferring to and from bed to wheelchairs using an electric hoist
- Meal preparation and feeding
- Domestic Duties
- Assistance with household administration
- Social and recreational activities
We want people who are:
- Reliable
- Punctual
- Flexible
- Able to work as part of a team to fulfill all necessary shifts
No experience is necessary; however, due to the nature of the work and the time involved in training our team, applicants seeking long-term employment (two years or more) are preferred. A driver’s license and own transport is an advantage.
Mandatory requirements
- Working With Vulnerable People Registration
- National Police Check
- Basic first aid training
- Manual handling training
Shift Guide:
All shifts on offer are shared within a reliable and dedicated small team. The roster is adaptable, with an expectation that the team will ensure all shifts are covered 7 days per week.
Shifts on offer range from 6:00am to 8:00pm.
Due to physical limitations, some personal care tasks require two people during shifts. An infrequent ‘sleepover’ shift may be required, with as much notice given as possible.
Employment is on a casual basis under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2020.
We provide a safe, comfortable, supportive working environment with a culture heavily focused on respect, communication, and supporting our right to privacy.
If you believe you would be suited to this role, please provide a resume and cover letter addressing the required criteria and a personal description of why you would be suited for the position.
Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
