Housekeeper, Administrative Assistant & Support
✳️ Support Worker Wanted For a Real Family, Not a Perfect One
This job is hard. It’s also deeply meaningful, if you’re the right person.
What You’re Signing Up For:
You’ll be supporting someone with disability, complexity, and real‑life emotion. You’ll be working in their family home, which means you’ll see the highs, the lows, and unfiltered reality.
If you’re after a tidy, predictable roster and a client who always smiles, this isn’t it.
Physical Requirements are Non‑Negotiable
This role requires genuine physical fitness. If you can’t safely lift, carry, push, bend, or walk for extended periods, this is not the role for you.
You’ll need to:
- Lift and load a manual wheelchair into your car.
- Manage long walks, active housework, and physical tasks.
If your body can’t safely keep up, that’s okay, but please don’t apply. This job demands someone who can move confidently and reliably every shift.
The Role
This client requires someone who can do it all. You’ll need a great sense of humour, solid initiative, and the ability to learn on the job (because no two days are ever the same).
You’ll be working in Mountain Creek, Sunshine Coast (QLD), supporting a 20‑year‑old in their family home.
Your work includes:
- Admin support: scheduling, organising appointments, and keeping things running smoothly.
- Transport: driving to and from appointments and social events in your own car.
- Home support: household tasks, both light and heavy cleaning, errands, and practical assistance.
It’s roughly 10 hours per week, with more as needed.
Must
- Be willing to work with an atheist, Wiccan, queer, trans, autistic, disabled, sweary, bogan family.
- Like budgies and dogs.
- Have your own car with a current roadworthy certificate and comprehensive insurance.
- Hold (or be willing to obtain at our cost) First Aid/CPR, Working with Children Card, and NDIS Worker Screening Card.
- Be willing to sign a Confidentiality Agreement and Employment Contract.
- Be able to safely lift, bend, carry, push, and walk for extended periods.
- Be willing to work nights and weekends as required, with occasional trips away.
You Get
- SCHADS Award remuneration – HCE
- Above-award superannuation.
- First Aid, Telephone, Meal, and Travel allowances.
- Full training – no experience necessary.
- Most weekends off, and regular staff getaways!
The Emotional Reality
Some days will be wonderful. Others will be rough.
There’ll be frustration, sadness, and anger, which is sometimes pointed at the situation, sometimes at whoever’s nearby.
Don’t take it personally. You get to go home. The client doesn’t.
You’re a support worker, not a co‑worker or assistant. Your role is to support someone’s independence, not to manage their emotions or expect them to manage yours.
Hours and Flexibility
This isn’t a neat 9‑to‑5. Expect weekends, nights, and occasional travel, sometimes on short notice.
If you have other commitments that limit your flexibility, please don’t apply.
Why Honesty Matters
This family has had too many false starts. It hurts to lose workers they’ve come to trust. If you’re unsure whether this is for you, it’s better to walk away now than to cause more harm later.
The Right Person
If you’re solid, capable, emotionally intelligent, and genuinely care about people, this could be one of the most rewarding (and fun!!!) jobs you’ll ever do.
If not, please don’t waste anyone’s time.
If you’ve made it this far, good sign.
