Adventure Team is seeking new disability support workers/mentors to join our growing team in Brisbane. We are advertising for multiple casual support roles with availability to start immediately.

**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 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.

We provide a fun and flexible environment where no two days are the same. 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, as well as occasional overnight respite and weekends away (if interested). 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.

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