**About the role**

We are looking for passionate and enthusiastic a Disability Support Professional to support four highly active and determined gentlemen to live life to the fullest.

A willingness to work with people with complex behaviour support needs is essential, but you will be well supported by an experienced team with a supportive culture.

Shifts commence as early as 6.00am and end as late as 10.00pm. There are eight (8) sleep over shifts on this roster line. However, you will be rewarded with a work life balance which is next to none. Roster listed below.

Empowering people with disability to live life the way _they _choose is at the heart of how Life Without Barriers has operated for over 25 years. This is an exciting opportunity to join our team and continue this mission. Support people with disability to have the choice, control, and independence to live their best life.
