This role offers a consistent fortnightly roster with up to 72 hours across a variety of shifts, including:

  • 6am to 2pm
  • 2pm to 10pm
  • 10pm to 6am (inactive overnight)

We're looking for team members who can commit to a minimum of 3–4 shifts per fortnight, with the opportunity to pick up additional shifts during staff leave or increased support needs.

What we are looking for

  • Minimum 2 years' experience as a Disability Support Worker, including SIL experience
  • Proven ability to support participants with high or complex needs
  • Skilled in managing challenging behaviours with a trauma-informed, person-centred approach
  • Strong communication, emotional resilience, and decision-making skills
  • Commitment to promoting independence, dignity, and quality of life

  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
  • Comfortable using technology
  • Empathetic, patient, and committed to participant wellbeing

Why Join Us?

At Young Mindz, we value empathy, respect, and collaboration. You'll be part of a supportive, empowering team dedicated to enhancing participants' well-being and fostering their independence.

We're also committed to your growth, offering ongoing training in Positive Behaviour Support, trauma-informed care, and more.
