Supporting with meal planning, cooking, light cleaning and facilitating community connection by socialising and going on outings.
Providing support during daily activities such as going for a walk, going to the movies or accompanying to an appointment.
Helping individuals maintain a connection to their family, friends, and services.
Your experience, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills will be invaluable in providing high-quality support and fostering independence for our clients.
We require:

Previous experience working in a similar environment or supporting people with complex disabilities will be highly regarded.
Flexibility to work various shifts including days, evening, early morning, weekends and sleepovers.
