About us

We're InLife, a not-for-profit disability support provider that specializes in working with people with frequent and complex support needs, including 24/7 assistance.

We build teams around every client, depending on each person's needs and preferences. We partner with people with any type of disability who want to live independently in the community.

Our clients may have physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, intellectual disabilities, or autism. We're honored that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs.

Our teams are based in Melbourne, Geelong, and regional Victoria, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Stawell, and Bendigo.

For this role, we are looking for people to support our clients who are located in the city, Docklands, and South Melbourne areas.

To do a great job, you'll need:

  • Good judgment and common sense, listening skills, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to our values.
  • Experience in supporting people with a physical disability and using manual handling equipment.
  • Must be willing to commit to regular ongoing shifts - minimum of 3 shifts per week including shifts which may be smaller in duration (i.e., 2-3 hours), experience in supporting people with mental health.
  • Experience and skills supporting clients to feel comfortable in their chosen environment, ability to assess the immediate environment and provide appropriate support.
  • Experience in personal care (showering and dressing) and assistance with household duties.
  • Great patience and willingness to build rapport with clients.
  • Commitment and enthusiasm in supporting clients with community activities such as gym, swimming, and art, along with an understanding of meaningful engagement.

Additional Information

As part of our recruitment process, certain checks will be undertaken with your permission, including an NDIS Worker Screening Check that you must have before you can start work.

We encourage all of our staff to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

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 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 your gender identity, disability, age, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or cultural background.

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.

Benefits

  • We offer great pay, generous benefits, and a supportive team culture.
  • You can also access salary packaging (which can mean extra take-home pay).
  • Opportunity for career progression - a clear career path for assistants who want to progress into team leader or coordinator roles.
