We're urgently seeking friendly, proactive Male Support Workers to join our dedicated team in Enfield SA. This role is ideal for someone who can naturally connect with a teenage male participant who enjoys gaming, creative hobbies, and relaxed home routines.

About the Role:

You'll be supporting a teenage boy with complex needs. He responds well to calm, consistent, and engaging support workers who can match his energy and interests. The ideal candidate would be someone with a laid-back personality, good humour, and the ability to encourage positive routines while building trust over time.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build a buddy-like rapport through shared interests (e.g., gaming, walking, music).
  • Support morning/evening routines, school attendance, and home-based learning.
  • Encourage healthy choices in meals, rest, hygiene, and social skills.
  • Support emotional regulation and respond safely to escalation using therapeutic approaches.
  • Maintain household cleanliness and safety routines.
  • Administer medications and complete shift documentation as required.

About You:

  • Able to form respectful, age-appropriate bonds with youth
  • Calm, confident, and grounded when faced with challenging behaviour
  • Open-minded, patient, and capable of supporting autonomy
  • Comfortable with structure and clear boundaries
  • A positive role model with a down-to-earth presence
  • Must be physically fit and alert to respond to risk behaviours when needed

What we're looking for:

  • Certificate III or higher in Disability, Youth Work, or Community Services
  • Great communication and problem-solving skills
  • Valid South Australian Driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle
  • Experience supporting young people with behavioural or mental health challenges (1–2 years minimum)

Highly Desirable:

  • Experience in residential youth settings, SIL, or Child Protection
  • Interest in gaming, pop culture, or teen-centric activities

About Connecting Families:

If you're ready to be a positive force in someone's life and grow in a rewarding career, we'd love to hear from you.
