What I Will Be Doing

As a Support Worker at Northcott, I will empower customers to live as independently and confidently as possible — supporting them to build daily living skills, maintain their health and safety, and stay connected to their community.
  • I will support customers with personal care in a way that promotes dignity and independence. This could include showering, toileting, continence support.
  • I will assist with safe manual handling using equipment such as hoists and transfer aids.
  • I will follow individual care plans to support health needs, such as epilepsy and wound care.
  • I will administer medication safely and accurately according to medication management plans.
  • I will prepare and support mealtimes according to mealtime management plans.
  • I will help customers maintain a clean and safe home environment, for example light cleaning, laundry, shopping.
  • I will assist with community access, social inclusion, and everyday outings. I am comfortable behind the wheel and happy to help customers get where they need to go — or open to learning how to drive a wheelchair-accessible van.
  • I will encourage and enable daily living skills to build confidence and independence.

About You

  • I see possibility and potential, not limitations.
  • I am passionate about building confidence and independence in others.

  • I will create spaces where people feel safe, respected, and genuinely valued.
  • I am dependable, adaptable, and motivated to help others grow.
  • I embrace diversity and understand the value of different perspectives.
