What I Will Be Doing:

As a Support Worker in Northcott's Hornsby team, I will empower customers to live as independently and confidently as possible, supporting them to develop life skills, pursue study or work opportunities, and stay actively connected to their community.

I will:

• Support customers in their day-to-day life, helping them build confidence and independence.
• Facilitate engaging group activities such as art, music, drama, cooking or travel training.
• Facilitate with the Work and Study Skills program.
• Build strong, respectful relationships with customers and their families.
• Work collaboratively with customers who have intellectual disabilities, autism, and some physical disabilities.
• Implement and review Individual Program Plans, ensuring customers are supported to achieve their personal goals.
• Empower support staff to communicate effectively with customers, using an individualised approach tailored to each person's needs.
• Use my skills to promote inclusion, independence, and community participation.
• Be flexible to work on a rotating roster, typically from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm, with extended hours on Thursdays (until 6:45 pm) and opportunities for Friday night or Saturday shifts.

As a Northcott Support Worker, I'll provide personalised, meaningful support in a vibrant and inclusive day program setting. No two days will ever be the same — one day, I might be leading a creative workshop or supporting a life skills session, and the next, helping someone take another step toward their independence and personal goals.
