About us

We're a rapidly scaling, not-for-profit disability support provider that believes in positively transforming the lives of people with disability. In doing so, we aim to create the highest quality agency we can, ideally reshaping the sector as a whole.

This means we often do things differently. Since we began in 2015, we've made it our mission to examine every part of what a support provider does – from how we structure our teams, to how we recruit and roster, to how we ensure the highest quality support, to how technology acts as an enabler for all that we do.

Our clients tell us they notice this difference, and for many it's had a profound impact on their lives. Supporting more than 250 clients across metropolitan and regional Victoria and only continuing to grow, we want the people who join us to also believe disability support should enable a life of independence and dignity.

To do a great job, you'll need:

• Experience supporting people with a physical disability including transfers/use of equipment and confident in hoisting.
• Experience in personal care (showering and dressing).
• Assistance with domestic duties.
• Enthusiasm and passion for supporting people with disabilities to live great lives.
• Great patience and willingness to build rapport with our clients.
• Willingness to work with a care team approach and incorporate the guidance of professionals, including supporting clients with their physio programs and community access.
• Good judgement, listening skills, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to our values.
• Willingness to work varied shifts including early mornings, evenings, weekends, short shifts, sleepovers, and active night shifts. Commitment to ongoing shifts is essential.
• Full driver's license and willingness to provide transport in your own vehicle (costs reimbursed).

A word about diversity and inclusion

At InLife, diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA. We celebrate the amazing differences we all bring to our work and actively ensure that everyone feels safe and supported in our workplaces.

We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, and our hiring decisions will never be based on gender identity, disability, age, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or cultural background - because they simply aren't relevant to doing an awesome job (and you are protected from this kind of discrimination under Australian law).

We also know that we continue to learn more about inclusion every day, so if there is something you think we could do differently to make InLife a place you could picture yourself working, we're all ears.
