Disability Support Worker

The need-to-know…

As a Community Disability Support Worker, you'll be right there beside the people we support, helping them build independence, grow confidence, and achieve the goals that matter most to them. Some days you may be shooting hoops with the person you support, dancing to their favourite playlist, swimming at the beach or exploring a museum. Other days you could be supporting that person to navigate their day-to-day routines with dignity and independence.
