Newcastle, Australia Altitude Support Services Full time

We are seeking a motivated, responsible and flexible employee to join a small team. We are a generous business who looks after employees by paying above award wages. We have multiple participants in Cessnock and Maitland with growing teams. You will be available 7-days per week and be keen to grow your hours, this includes availability for after-school supports and the possibility of overnights. We are a growing business. We are driven to foster a culture of respect and ethical practice that achieves things of substance for people of disabilities and enables staff to have a fulfilling, prosperous career. We want someone who is staunchly reliable, a fair-minded team member and who has the communication skills required to manage relationships with clients and families. The bulk of this role will be providing community access to people with disabilities for 5-6 hour shifts across the Hunter region.

Sometimes, albeit rarely, our clients will experience unexpected medical emergencies and may need additional support hours. This needs to shape your understanding of the role and your appreciation of the degree to which people with disabilities rely on their support workers. It is imperative that staff will be flexible in their hours and take one-off and fill-in shifts occasionally in addition to their regular ongoing shifts. This ensures people are supported, new relationships can be formed and everyone in the business has access to shifts that suit their personal circumstances.
