Highlighting the importance of this role

Working within our SIL (Supported Independant Living) homes, you will provide support, assisting people with disabilities to live as independently as possible, whether they have complex needs or just need some additional support at home. No two days will be the same - you may hear that phrase a lot but here at Endeavour Foundation, you will see it in action

Other key duties will include:

- Helping people to achieve their NDIS goals by developing important daily skills such as housekeeping, personal care, social skills and budgeting.
- Assisting with aspects of personal care where required to meet the individual needs of the people we support.
- Supporting with meal planning, cooking, light cleaning and facilitating community connection by socialising and going on outings.
- Providing support during daily activities such as going for a walk, going to the movies or accompanying to an appointment.
- Helping the people we support to maintain a connection to their family, friends, and services.
