Australia You Are Home Support Services Pty Ltd Full time

Applications are open for our growing team on the Sunshine Coast We are seeking committed and passionate casual Support Workers to take on the role of Community Access Support Workers picking up and dropping home one of our participants in Wurtulla
- a lovely lady with a Traumatic Brain Injury and dementia. Shifts are Monday to Friday ideally from 9am - 2pm or 10am - 3pm. Shifts won't be rostered on public holidays however longer shifts can be rostered on the non public holiday days of the weeks on weeks that have public holidays. Additional shifts in participants SIL home will become available in the coming weeks for the right applicant.

What the participant hopes to achieve during community access: - "I want to feel connected to my community and I have many things that I enjoy doing such as anything to do with animals such as dog grooming or farm days, 80's 90's music, Going to live music events as long as they aren't too loud, Watching people dancing such as rock and roll dancing, line dancing or swing dancing, Hot rod cars, Op Shopping or any shopping in general, Going to beautiful beaches for fish and chips and people watching, going to dog parks to hang out with peoples dogs, I love watching people do things in general, I love coffee and going out for a good coffee or frappe but I don't want my supports to only take me to cafes because then I get bored. I really enjoy it when my supports get creative and find me new events to go to. Recently I went to a Mardi gras party and I thought it was really good and I couldn't do this all the time because I'm too old for it now but every now and then it's really fun."

A little more about the participant:

- Participant also has a cat who is temporarily staying in a cattery and she will need to be taken to visit with him once a week. - The participant is a wheelchair user so applicants must be willing and able to lift the participants fold up manual wheelchair into their car for community access. These shifts must be completed in the community. They are not in home visits. If being out for 5 hours with a participant and getting creative with activities is not something you enjoy please do not apply. The participant will need you to push them in their manual wheel chair while in the community.
