Elizabeth, Australia Autism SA Full time

**Your new company**

Autism SA has a strong and rich history of being a recognised leader in providing specialised services to individuals on the autism spectrum, their families, and the broader community. When you join Autism SA you’ll get to work with dedicated and passionate staff who are driven to support autistic people to live the life they choose in an inclusive society.

Working alongside experienced colleagues from a variety of professions, you’ll have access to an extensive knowledge base and development opportunities, giving you the chance to fuel your professional growth, expand your skills, and provide the highest quality of care to clients and their families.'

**The Role**

Autism SA is looking for an optimistic Support Worker who is passionate about providing high-quality services to clients. This casual position is an opportunity to provide mentoring support to a student, with the aim of engaging them back into education. In this role, you will build a genuine relationship with the student you support by helping them live their best life and achieve their full potential. You will be guided by a social worker and education staff to deliver the program.

We are seeking 1 dynamic, committed, and experienced team member who can deliver the highest quality, person-centred support to this client. Above all, we seek a team member who strive to develop close-knit relationships with clients and their support team, and who celebrate with them for every milestone reached, big or small.

**The client**
This client is a 9-year-old young person living in Elizabeth Downs who requires support with re-engaging in school while receiving support at home, in the community, and at school. The young person has a special interest in mechanics and fixing broken scooters and bikes. They also like spending time at skate parks and going on hikes at nearby reserves.

The hours will be limited to approximately **10 hours a week** at the beginning to build rapport with the young person as the young person struggles to engage with new people. Hours would likely eventually increase to **20 hours a week.**

**What you will need to succeed**:

- Experience in supporting people with autism
- Experience in supporting people to achieve their goals and outcomes
- Experience supporting clients in their home and the community
- Experience supporting young people keeping consistent and stable routines as change can cause dysregulation
- English writing skills sufficient to complete the administration requirements of the role
- Willingness to work with school support networks
- Availability to work during school hours and some after school hours work may also be required

**Essential requirements**:

- Minimum of Certificate III in Individual Support, Community Services, Disability or Certificate IV in Youth Work OR qualifications or/and relevant industry/personal experience will also be considered
- National Police Clearance within the last 3 months
- NDIS Workers Check and DHS Working with Children Check
- SA Driver’s License
- Safety Intervention Training (Formerly MAPA)
- Experience working with clients with complex needs
- Experience working with clients who present with challenging behaviours of concern

**How to Apply**

If you are interested in this opportunity, we encourage you to spend five minutes completing the personality questions and submit your resume and accompanying cover letter. You are welcome to attach any additional documents you think would be beneficial for the selection panel to consider.

Autism SA is committed to improving and sustaining employment outcomes for people from diverse backgrounds. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from different cultural backgrounds and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
