Mount Barker SA, Australia AHH Lifeskills Full time $41,790 - $83,580 per year

About the Role:

We're looking for a confident and compassionate Disability Support Worker to join a couple of our Supported Independent Living (SIL) teams in Mount Barker. You'll be working with male residents, each with unique support needs. A few clients require CPI-trained staff to assist with high-risk behaviours; the others benefits from a trauma-informed approach and a healthy dose of good humour and positive vibes.

Due to the specific behavioural support needs of two clients, this role requires a support worker trained in CPI (or willingness to obtain, at no cost) with experience managing physically challenging behaviours. Applicants must be comfortable with physical intervention and high-stress environments. The role may involve supporting a client with a history of aggression.

We value a calm, friendly personality — someone who's genuinely people-focused, resilient, and maybe even has a bit of light-hearted banter (if that's you, even better).

What You'll Do:

  • Provide daily living support (personal care, meals, domestic tasks)
  • Support implementation of behaviour support plans and regulated restrictive practices
  • Promote independence, social connection, and community access
  • Work as part of a close-knit, collaborative team
  • Maintain accurate documentation

About You:

  • Experience supporting individuals with complex behaviours
  • CPI training or equivalent (essential for this role), or willingness to obtain
  • Knowledge of trauma-informed care
  • A great communicator with emotional intelligence
  • Reliable, adaptable, and committed to client-centred care
  • A good sense of humour and approachable nature
  • Fluent in English, familiar with Australian slang
  • Driver's licence + reliable car
  • Valid NDIS Worker Screening Check, WWCC, and First Aid/CPR (or willingness to obtain)

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive pay rates
  • Flexible shifts & hours
  • Passive sleepovers at above award rates (double)
  • Supportive, team-based environment
  • Opportunities to work across day options, mentoring, and respite to supplement your roster
  • Professional development and on-the-job training
