South Brisbane, Australia Adventure Team Full time

Adventure Team is seeking new youth support worker/mentor to join our growing team in South Brisbane. We are advertising for a support role to start within 7 days.

**About Us**

Since forming in 2019, we’ve grown from a team of 2 on the Gold Coast in Queensland to many, and we are in the process of expanding our services in South Brisbane. We are a disability support company, helping people living with disabilities through providing mentoring, group and respite services. As a team we are strongly driven to help others and offer personalised services centred around pushing boundaries, building hobbies and routine, and encouraging adventure.

**About the Opportunity**

We need mentors to provide support everyday. We will have two to three shifts for every single day: 6:00 am to 2:00 pm, 2:00pm to 10pm and 10pm to 6am (overnight shift) on a 1:2 ratio (1 youth support workers for 2 clients). Shift time may change/increase depending on the clients' needs.

We are particularly looking for a mentor to provide support with activities, groceries and meal preparation. People who identify as First Nations are encouraged to apply.

The clients for this role would be siblings: a 9-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl.

Positions are casual roles offering a competitive starting weekday rate ranging from $31.76 to $40.43 p/h (+ super), depending on experience.

We provide a fun and flexible environment. Adventure is at the heart of who we are and we love to operate outdoors and encourage our clients to discover their own passions and interests.

As a mentor, you will be supporting our clients with daily living and community access. We provide support in a variety of settings covering a broad range of needs and we work to ensure we match you, your interests, availability and skillset to the right person.

People are at the heart of our success and work. We are looking for reliable and motivated individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of others.

- Ability to work autonomously, use your own initiative and be both proactive and adaptable

**What We Can Offer You**

- A supportive and positive team with ongoing one-on-one training and mentoring provided

**Please note: Applications that don't include a cover letter will not be considered.
