About Sunnyfield
Sunnyfield is an industry-leading not-for-profit organisation with 1500 employees delivering over 2000 support services daily. For over 70 years, we have been supporting people with disability of all ages to be active, inclusive participants in their communities through innovative programs and person-centred active support plans.

Our staff are our valued partners and key to Sunnyfield’s success. As advocates of diversity, inclusivity and equality, we strive to have a team that reflects the diversity of the people we support, so their needs are met to the best of our ability.

About the role

As a Community Support Worker, you will play an essential role in supporting and empowering people with disability to live a life of their choosing and be respected and valued within their community. You will provide a range of community services to assist clients to be actively involved in their local community, engaged in meaningful opportunities and build relationships.

- Work to behaviour support plans by utilising positive behaviour strategies
- Assist and support clients with personal and hygiene care

- Ability to support others with personal and hygiene care - and happy for this to be part of your job
- Current Australian drivers licence
- Current First Aid and CPR certificate
