What You’ll Be Doing

As a Support Worker in Northcott’s Cobbitty team, you’ll empower customers to live as independently and confidently as possible — supporting them to develop life skills, pursue study or work opportunities, and stay actively connected to their community.

I will:

- Support customers in their daily lives, helping them build confidence and independence in a group home setting.

- Use my experience in disability or aged care, ideally within group homes.

- Demonstrate competency in manual handling, including hoist operation and repositioning.

- Assist with personal care, hygiene, and domestic duties.

- Build strong, respectful relationships with customers and their families.

- Work collaboratively with customers who have intellectual disabilities, autism, and/or physical disabilities.

- Implement and review Individual Program Plans, supporting customers to achieve their goals.

- Empower support staff to communicate effectively with customers using a personalised, person-centred approach.

- Promote inclusion, independence, and community participation.

- Be flexible to work on a rotating roster, including weekends.

No two days are the same at Northcott. One day you might be leading a creative workshop or supporting a life skills session; the next, you could be helping someone take another step toward their independence and personal goals.
