**About us**

We're InLife. A not-for-profit disability support provider that specialises in working with people with frequent and complex support needs, including 24/7 assistance.

We build teams around every client, depending on each person's needs and preferences. We partner with people with any type of disability who want to live independently in the community (and we love to make that happen). That's why our assistants are so important.

Our clients may have physical disability, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, intellectual disability or autism. We're honoured that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs. Nobody else. Just us.

Our teams are based in Melbourne, Geelong and regional Victoria, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Stawell and Bendigo.

**To do a great job, you'll need**:

- Good judgement and common sense, listening skills, a willingness to learn and a commitment to our values.
- Experience with catheter care, peg feeding, and bowel care
- Experience with dysphasia
- Experience with Type 1 diabetes
- Experience in personal care (showering and dressing) and assistance with domestic duties
- Experience supporting people with a physical disability including transfers/use of equipment and confidence in hoisting
- Have great patience and be willing to put in the time and energy to build rapport with your client
- Experience in mental health and behaviours of concern would be an advantage but not essential
- Enthusiasm and passion for supporting people with disabilities to live great lives.
- Commitment to working with a care team approach, including guidance from professionals. For example, supporting our clients to complete a regular physiotherapy program
- Full drivers licence and be willing and comfortable with providing transport in your own vehicle sometimes (we reimburse you for costs)
- Willing to work varied shifts with varied hours including early mornings, evenings and weekends together with some short shifts, sleepovers and active night shifts. We also need you to be able to commit to ongoing shifts, based on your availability.

As part of our recruitment process, certain checks will be undertaken with your permission, including an NDIS Worker Screening Check that you must have before you can start work.

InLife is committed to ensuring the rights, safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. We have a zero tolerance of child abuse and every InLife employee has a responsibility to make sure all children and young people are safe and feel safe.

**Benefits**
- We offer great pay, generous benefits and a supportive team culture
- You can also access salary packaging (can mean extra take-home pay)
- Opportunity for career progression - a clear career path for assistants who want to progress into team leader or coordinator roles

**A word about diversity and inclusion**

At InLife, diversity and inclusion is part of our DNA. We celebrate the amazing differences we all bring to our work and we actively ensure that everyone feels safe and supported in our workplaces.

We also know that we continue to learn more about inclusion every day, so if there is something you think we could do differently to make InLife a place you could picture yourself working, we're all ears.
