Our vision is to make a difference in our partners' lives by focusing on meeting their needs and care goals, as well as helping them feel supported, and maximizing their independence.

As a deeply grounded NDIS and Aged Care provider, we require Support Workers on a casual premise with a view towards permanency. One should be adaptable and flexible to work with individuals with diverse special needs and to help frail, older people, including the prematurely aged, living in the community to maximize their independence.

**About the team**

We are dedicated to social justice values and strive to treat everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their cultural background, ability, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religion. We value ethnic, gender, and occupational diversity, and we employ devoted, bright, and motivated employees who work on a variety of projects and services.
