Be Part of Something Different

At Blossom Support Services, we do things differently.

We support young people and adults with disability to live meaningful, adventurous lives – through tailored community access, innovative short-term accommodation (STA), and in-home supports.

Our focus is on positive behaviour support, communication access, and individualised care for those with complex needs. We're building a team of experienced support workers who know how to think ahead, adapt with compassion, and follow through.

Now, we're offering two pathways to join us:

  • Casual employee roles with strong leadership support, penalty rates and superannuation.
  • Experienced independent subcontractors, with autonomy, flexibility, and strong hourly rates.

We Are Looking For Support Workers With:

  • Experience supporting behaviours of concern
  • Confidence implementing Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSPs)
  • Practical skills using visual supports, AAC, and sensory regulation tools
  • Understanding of trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches
  • Ability to communicate effectively with participants, families, and allied health
  • Strong documentation and time management skills

Your Role May Include:

  • Supporting participants in the community, in their homes, and on overnight STA/respite
  • Implementing participant-specific plans (PBS, seizure, dysphagia, mealtime, medication)
  • Providing personal care, managing routines, and fostering independence
  • Completing accurate support notes and shift documentation
  • Collaborating with a supportive team and leadership network (including in-house nurse)

Essential Requirements:

All roles (employee or subcontractor):

  • NDIS Worker Screening Check
  • DHS Working with Children Check
  • National Police Check
  • First Aid & CPR
  • Manual Handling Certificate
  • NDIS Worker Orientation Module
  • "Through Their Eyes" (RAN) and Safe Meal Training
  • Driver's Licence and comprehensively insured personal vehicle
  • Proof of right to work in Australia

Subcontractors only (additional):

  • Valid ABN
  • Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance

What We Offer:

  • Employee Pathway:

  • SCHADS Level 2 from $43.23/hr + 12% super, with paid training, regular rostered hours, and eligibility for permanent conversion.

  • Subcontractor Pathway:

  • $50.54–$54.69/hr, flexible hours, participant-match-up model, shift penalties for weekends. Ideal for experienced sole traders.

  • High-quality training in PBS, high-intensity supports, and communication strategies
  • Real team connection - you won't be left alone
  • A chance to grow with us into team leader, PBS assistant or specialist support worker roles

  • A values-based culture:

  • Adventure

  • Connection
  • Respect
  • Creativity

Inclusive Hiring

We welcome support workers from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of disability, carers, and workers who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, CALD, or LGBTQIA+.
