Disability Support Worker

Access to mentoring to help you best support our Client
- Variety of overnight and penalty shifts available
- Opportunity to collaborate with an experienced support team

**About the role**:
Supporting a female Samoan client, who experiences challenges with mobility for personal cares. These challenges require assistance with personal cares, bowel therapy, catheter care, and assistance with turns to manage pressure wounds.

This lady requires 24/7 supports, assistance with personal cares, bowel therapy, catheter care, and assistance with turns to manage pressure wounds, but most importantly, she really wants to be actively involved with the implementation of her daily needs.

She is an awesome lady who involves her family in her cares as they are her strengths and are her everything.

She does need people who have experience in bowel therapy and catheter care and who live within a short driving distance. It's not all on you though, as you will have support in this via a comprehensive care plan, ongoing training and support from our awesome Support Specialist team.

The ideal Support Worker is someone who is able to take direction well and is very reliable in attending to shifts.
