Edwardstown, Australia Community Living Options Full time

**About Me**

I am a 50-year-old woman of Greek heritage living in Glandore. I have a hearing impairment meaning I do not hear properly; however, I am quite good at lips reading.

My preferred form of communication is AUSLAN (Australian sign language) but I also communicate via pen and paper. I would prefer my support staff to be fluent in AUSLAN.

I love reading and going to the library. I also enjoy shopping and going to hungry jacks.

**The Role**

An Opportunity is available to join my team of wonderful support workers who help to facilitate my daily life. My support workers assist me on a 1 to 1 throughout the day.

I struggle to manage my money and need my staff to keep an eye on my spending as sometimes I can't pay for the items I want which upsets me. I am also very protective of my money.

I don't like engaging with staff when it's time to take my medication and I don't have a strong insight into my physical and mental health needs. This means I sometimes have to go to hospital.

When I am frustrated, I will often turn my stereo up all the way to feel the vibrations.

**Key responsibilities**:

- Assist me with ADL's
- Personal care
- Manual Handling
- In home activities such as cooking and arts
- Support me to achieve my goals to reach my potential in all facets of my life.
- Support my life skill development through proper implementation of established plans and programs to support the achievement of goal outcomes for me.
- Actively engage in person centred active support.
- Maintain accurate records.

**Shifts**
I am looking for someone to support me on a casual/PT basis with the potential to join the team part time in the future.

My shifts are generally but not limited to 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm and sleepover until the 7:00 am on the following day.
- NDIS Worker Screening or DHS Disability related check
- Current Driver's Licence
- Current First Aid Certificate
- Current CPR
- Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability/Aged Care) or other relevant qualification
- Diabetes Management
- Dysphagia training
- Manual Handling Level 2

**About you:
**I am looking for a creative and positive person to join my team. I am looking for someone who would help with my needs and goals.

I need support to learn how to plan, shop for, and cook healthy meals to help me manage my weight and diabetes.

I suffer incontinence, especially when I don't take my medication and require prompting to shower and change my clothes when this happens.

**Other requirements**:

- Experience in working with people who have experience with high behaviours of concern's
- Ability to implement individualised developmental programs.
- Experience implementing positive behaviour support strategies.
- Flexible working hours
- Experience in various models of support preferred.
- Ability to adapt quickly to changes in service delivery.

**The Offer**
To get you started, we ensure that you are feeling comfortable and confident in the role. You will be offered full training by CLO which includes buddy shifts with my core team.

Most importantly, you'll have an opportunity to join my energetic team and help me to live my best life. I would hope that we will develop a strong relationship and you will understand my requirements and be able to assist me.

**Joining CLO, you will be provided with**:

- Supportive and inclusive team environment
- Ongoing training and development support
- Salary Packaging benefits (up to $15,899 p.a tax-free)
- Position with purpose whereby you will be making a difference.

**Our Values**
- **Rights**: We value the right of all people to contribute to society, to be valued and respected, to choose and have control over their lives and individuality and to live free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
- **Integrity**: We value reliability, honesty, and accountability.
- **Relationships**: We value the strength of families, friends, and partners in creating an enriched enjoyable life.
