Phillip, Australia Wellcare Australia Full time

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of people with psychosocial disabilities? Do you thrive on building meaningful connections and empowering others to live their best lives? At Wellcare Australia, we’re looking for exceptional Support Workers to join our dynamic team in Canberra. If you’re ready to bring your skills, heart, and creativity to a rewarding career, we want to hear from you

**What You’ll Do**
As a Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in empowering participants with psychosocial disabilities to achieve their goals and live independently. Your responsibilities will include:

- Providing compassionate, person-centered support in Supported Independent Living (SIL) and community settings.
- Assisting with daily living, social engagement, and skill-building activities tailored to individual NDIS plans.
- Collaborating with participants, families, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver holistic care.
- Using trauma-informed practices to foster trust and resilience in participants.
- Documenting progress and contributing to care plan reviews with creativity and insight.

**Who We’re Looking For**
We’re seeking vibrant individuals who bring energy, empathy, and expertise to our team. You’ll be a great fit if you have:

- A genuine passion for supporting people with psychosocial disabilities.
- Experience in disability support, mental health, or community services **(preferred but not essential—attitude matters**).
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport with diverse individuals.
- A proactive mindset, with the ability to think creatively to solve challenges.
- Valid NDIS Worker Screening Check, Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) card, and First Aid/CPR certification (or willingness to acquire).

**Why This Role Stands Out**
At Wellcare Australia, we’re not just another NDIS provider. We’re a Canberra-based team committed to innovation and excellence in psychosocial support. You’ll work in a supportive environment where your ideas are valued, and your impact is visible every day. Plus, you’ll be part of a tight-knit team that celebrates every milestone—big or small—with our participants.
