Our Client is a vibrant young male who is an active member of his community. He is also quite the artist. He loves painting, is a fabulous singer and regularly performs as an Elvis impersonator. He enjoys bush walking and loves to spend time with his two cuddly dogs.

Our Client is planning a big move soon, and is looking to start building a new team of awesome Support Workers to support him with this transition. The ideal Support Worker for our Client is someone who is good natured and friendly, loves to have a laugh, and someone that’s not afraid to encourage our Client to explore and try new activities.

The role will involve support with community access only. While the role will primarily be based in Macleay Island, applicants on the mainland who are comfortable with travelling via ferry are encouraged to apply. An open driver’s licence, registered vehicle, and comprehensive insurance is required as some shifts will require vehicle use.
