Hey you

We're looking for compassionate and reliable Residential Support Workers to help people with disability live more independently and enjoy a fulfilling life at home and in their community.

As a Residential Support Worker, you will:

  • Support residents with daily living activities such as personal care, food preparation, medication support, and mealtime routines.
  • Encourage independence and skill-building through person-centred support and teaching moments (big and small).
  • Create opportunities for residents to connect with their community, explore interests, and engage in meaningful activities.
  • Work alongside team leaders and colleagues to implement Person-Centred Plans (PCPs).
  • Maintain accurate documentation and records to support safe, quality and empowering care.
  • Complete admin tasks such as compliance reporting, client paperwork and incident documentation while following genU policies and WHS standards.
What you'll bring
  • A warm, supportive and person-first approach.
  • The ability to stay flexible, calm and adaptable — especially when routines change.
  • A genuine desire to empower people with disability to live independently.
  • A sense of humour and a positive team spirit.

You'll also need:

  • Certificate III or IV in Disability or related qualification
  • Current Victorian Driver Licence
  • First Aid & CPR
  • NDIS Worker Screening Check
  • NDIS Worker Orientation Module ("Quality, Safety & You")
  • Working with Children Check (Employee)
