Join Leap Occupational Therapy – Make a Positive Impact on Lives

As Leap Occupational Therapy continues to grow, we are offering an exciting opportunity to join our professional and passionate team, where you can help make a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable people and those living with a wide range of disabilities.

Position: Disability Support Worker

Location: Between Wynyard to Latrobe

Work Type: Shift Work (Including Sleepovers and Active Nights)

About the Role:

As a Disability Support Worker, you will assist individuals with a diverse range of disabilities, including those requiring higher and more complex levels of support. This position involves shift work—including days, weekends, sleepovers, and active nights—and requires flexibility to work across the North-West Coast, from Wynyard to Latrobe.

We are currently seeking support workers for two distinct roles:

Community Support Worker

This role focuses on providing 1:1 and community-based support to participants, helping them build independence, access the community, and engage in meaningful daily activities. The support is person-centered and tailored to each individual's goals and interests.

Behaviour Support Worker

This role involves supporting participants with complex needs, including those who may display behaviours of concern. You'll work closely with individuals to implement consistent, trauma-informed strategies that promote safety, stability, and quality of life.

Experience in either community support or complex behaviour is highly regarded. We're looking for people who are compassionate, dependable, and committed to making a difference.

PLEASE NOTE:

This role requires shift work and a willingness to meet the physical and emotional demands of the job. Please do not apply if you are unable to fulfill these requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist with activities of daily living, including personal care, manual handling, and medication management.
  • Provide support in challenging situations with flexibility, resilience, and strength.
  • Build rapport and trust with participants through active listening and empathy.
  • Work effectively within a team and contribute to shared team goals.
  • Demonstrate excellent problem-solving abilities and think on your feet.
Requirements

Essential Requirements: To be considered for this role, you must have:

  • The ability to work shift work, including weekends, sleepovers, and active nights.
  • A Certificate III in Disability/Individual Support (or similar qualification).
  • A valid Working with Vulnerable People & NDIS endorsed Worker Screening Check.
  • A current First Aid & CPR Certificate.
  • Completion of the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission Worker Orientation Module (available at ).

  • Medication Endorsement.
  • Behaviour support experience
