About Novita

Our primary purpose is to enable kids, young people and adults living with disability and their families to participate in the community to their full potential.

About The Role

Are you looking for variety and purpose in your work? As a casual Disability Support Worker based at Murray Bridge, you'll play a vital role in the planning and provision of a responsive client and family-centred service, providing Hub and In-Home supports. In this hands-on role, you'll use your knowledge and experience supporting people with physical and intellectual disabilities to promote independence, community participation, and meaningful relationships in a safe and supportive environment.

For decades Novita has been helping South Australians living with disability achieve their goals. In this role, you'll support clients by interpreting and responding to their communication needs, health care plans, and mealtime guidelines, administering medication, and documenting observations. Your contribution will be vital in helping clients reach their full potential and independence goals—perfect for someone who finds joy in seeing others grow and thrive.

Responsibilities
  • Support clients by interpreting and responding to communication needs, health care plans, and mealtime guidelines
  • Administer prescribed medication and maintain accurate records
  • Document observations and communicate changes to the team
  • Promote independence, community participation and meaningful relationships
  • Provide Hub and In-Home supports in a client and family-centred manner
What You'll Need before starting

  • Certificate III in Individual Support, Disability, or Community Services (or willingness to complete/enrol)
  • Child Safe Environments training (Through Your Eyes)
  • Completion of the NDIS Worker Orientation Module: Quality, Safety and You
  • Competency-based training in Assist Clients with Medication (HLTHPS006 or equivalent obtained within the last 6 months)
  • Competency-based Manual Handling training (HLTWHS005 or equivalent obtained within the last 6 months)
  • Current Senior First Aid Certificate (including CPR)
  • A current valid Driver's Licence
