eQuality Support is an independent, NDIS disability services provider. We have two offices, one in Torquay and one in Ballarat. We're looking for passionate Disability Support Workers to join our friendly teams in the Geelong and Ballarat regions.

This role supports people to live independently at home, so they can meaningfully complete their daily routines and activities both inside and outside of the home.

A commitment of 20+ hours per week is needed, including evenings, weekends, and sleepovers. You can block out when you are not able to work, and accept shifts assigned to you from a roster. Most shifts are 8 hours in duration and you work with one client for the whole shift.

Support daily planning, advocacy, communication, and transport in community settings.

**Experience - about you**

You'll have relevant experience supporting the well-being and inclusion of people with disability.

Effective written and verbal communication skills, particularly active listening.

Ability to perform all physical aspects of the role, including manual handling, lifting, bending, stretching, and physical transfer.

**Qualifications required**

A minimum certificate III, diploma or qualification in disability or relevant area such as aged care, community services, or health. We encourage students from these areas to apply.

Our culture is strong in moral and ethical principles. The values that guide us daily are to act with integrity, treat everyone equally, make a difference everyday, and work with passion.

We value diversity and see many people thrive in the Disability Support Worker role. From passionate support workers and community services professionals to carers, students, and people changing careers.
