What You'll Be Doing

As a Support Worker at The Neurodiverse Network, you'll help empower neurodiverse clients to live authentically - supporting them to develop independence, enhance emotional regulation, build meaningful connections, and engage confidently in their communities. Your work will be guided by a neuroaffirming, person-centred, and trauma-informed approach, underpinned by your understanding of each client's unique profile, preferences, and needs.

Core duties include:

  • Assist with daily living activities (e.g. light personal care, meal prep, light household duties)
  • Support routines and encourage independence through tailored strategies and tools
  • Foster social inclusion through community access, activities, and outings tailored to the client's interests and goals
  • Collaborate positively with families and other stakeholders
  • Understand and acknowledge each person's sensory profile, communication preferences, and regulation needs
  • Consistently uphold the NDIS Code of Conduct and organisational values
  • Maintain clear, accurate, and timely documentation to ensure quality support, effective communication, and compliance with organisational and NDIS requirements

Additional duties may include:

  • Supporting or facilitating our social connection group programs (in areas that are of interest to you)
  • Implement therapy programs in the home that are developed and overseen by our psychologists and other allied health professionals

What We're Looking For

We're looking for multiple people who:

  • Have demonstrated experience working with neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with Autism Level 2
  • Understand autism-related communication differences, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation challenges, and masking
  • Have the ability adapt to individual needs and preferences
  • Are compassionate, reliable, and committed to inclusive, person-centred care
  • Have a high level of emotional intelligence, patience, and effective communication skills
  • Able to work independently and as part of a team
  • Holds (or is working towards) a certificate or higher in disability support, community services, or similar

  • Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
  • Current Blue Card (Working with Children Check)
