Forest Lake, Queensland, Australia Raise Your Spirit Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year
About Us

Raise Your Spirit (RYS) is not your average support organisation. We're here to lift spirits, spark joy, and make every day count, especially for young people living with disabilities.

We specialise in performance and wellbeing programs for 7 to 25 year olds, offering 1:1 support, day programs, in-home care, getaways, and skill-building adventures. Whether it's Animal Adventures, Game Days, DJ Zones, or mindfulness walks, we do things differently.

We believe every person has something extraordinary to offer. That includes our participants, and our staff.

The Role

We're looking for exceptional Happiness Coaches (Support Workers) who believe in the magic of connection and creativity. We welcome applications from all genders and particularly encourage men to apply so our team reflects the young people we support.

You'll work 1:1 with participants, building trust, skills, and confidence, whether it's through outdoor play, cooking, crafting, gaming, or simply being present.

If you DJ, skate, play footy, sing, fish, game, bike, dance, paint, cook, gym or have a passion that makes people smile, we want you.

You'll work both independently and as part of a vibrant team. Sessions can run weekdays, after school, and weekends. We find a schedule that works for everyone.

What We're Looking For

You love helping and inspiring others

You connect easily with young people aged 7 to 25

You can commit to regular hours and show up reliably

You're confident providing 1:1 support and understand the importance of building real rapport

You're willing to commit to at least 12 months with any participant you support—we pride ourselves on consistency and stability

You're creative, hands-on, and genuinely engaged—not just on the sidelines

You have interests like music, gaming, cars, art, or movement

You have experience—or deep interest—in supporting people with disabilities

You're patient, kind, and emotionally intelligent

You're studying or qualified in allied health, nursing, disability, education, youth work or just a great human

You're punctual, reliable, and trustworthy

You Must Have:

A caring heart and positive attitude

Willingness to provide 1:1 support—our clients thrive with individual attention and connection

12-month commitment to any participant you're matched with

Consistent availability (set days or flexible options)

Driver's licence + reliable car

Police check + Working With Children Check (Blue Card)

Current First Aid & CPR certification

Right to work in Australia

We welcome students

Why Join Raise Your Spirit?

Bright, values-driven culture with a focus on kindness and creativity

Good hourly rates and meaningful work

Support from an experienced, heart-led team

Opportunities to grow into new programs or full-time roles

You'll never have a boring day
