Your 2026 starts here: Choose a career that connects you to your community.
Are you a social spark who loves getting people out and about? Or are you a nurturing soul who takes pride in creating a supportive home environment? At Westhaven, we believe in whole-of-life support. We are looking for versatile Support Workers to join us in delivering high-quality, person-centred care across our diverse Adult Services.
Choose Your Impact
Westhaven operates across multiple settings. Depending on the needs of our participants and your unique skill set, your role could be:
* Community Focused: Based at our vibrant Dubbo Day Programs Centre, leading workshops, educational activities, and social outings.
* Residential Focused: Providing essential daily living support within our accommodation services, helping participants live independently in a place they call home.
* A Mix of Both: The best of both worlds - providing a seamless transition for participants from their morning routine at home to their afternoon activities in the community.
The Perks of the Job
* Competitive Pay: $34.58 to $37.73 per hour + shift/casual loadings and 12% super.
* Tax-Free Benefits: Salary packaging (up to $15,900/year) and a meal/entertainment card (up to $2,650/year) to increase your take-home pay.
* Growth: A one-week comprehensive induction and clear pathways to leadership roles.
* Discounts: Access to Fitness Passport and exclusive employee retail discounts.
What You'll Be Doing
* Empowering Choice: Supporting participants to meet the goals in their NDIS plans—whether that's learning a new skill, attending an appointment, or mastering a recipe at home.
* Social Inclusion: Planning and attending community events, sports, and social groups to prevent isolation and build confidence.
* Quality Care: Assisting with personal care and daily living tasks with dignity and respect.
* Advocacy: Being a voice for our participants and ensuring their safety and wellbeing through accurate reporting and case notes.
What You'll Need
* A Positive Mindset: You are reliable, empathetic, and passionate about social justice.
* Flexibility: Availability to work across a 24/7 roster (mornings, evenings, and sleepovers) is highly regarded, particularly for our residential and mixed-mode roles.
* Resilience: Experience supporting complex needs, mental health, or behaviours of concern is essential.
* Compliance: A current NSW Driver's Licence, First Aid/CPR, WWCC, and NDISWC. You must also be willing to be listed on the Residential Care Workers Register (RCWR).
