Role

As a Disability Support Worker (DSW) in Residential Accommodation, you will support adults with disability one-on-one or in groups, in their homes and occasionally in the community. You will work closely with individuals to implement personalised plans that address their unique needs and goals. You might support clients with:
  • working towards their goals
  • shopping, appointments and events
  • daily living and personal care needs, including assistance with meal preparation, personal hygiene and mobility
  • overnight care.
About You

We're looking for people who are passionate, have a great attitude and an eagerness to learn. You'll share Yooralla's values and have:
  • a positive approach, initiative and self-motivation
  • willingness to empower our clients to reach their goals
  • effective communication skills and good English literacy
  • ability to work collaboratively in a diverse team
  • willingness to support clients with personal care activities
  • Australian Driver Licence
  • the right to work in Australia
  • The ability to get a First Aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation certificate if you don't already have one.
A Certificate IV in Disability, relevant work experience or an interest in community services would be great, if you already have any of these. If not, don't worry as Yooralla provides excellent training and support. You may even find you have some transferable skills to bring to the role.

You will be subject to NDIS Worker Screening
