Seeking Experienced Support Workers

Our prospective Disability Clients need multiple experienced all-rounder Support Workers to join us for our Onsite Shared Support opportunity at the brand new (still being finalised) Marine Quarter towers as Southport on the Gold Coast providing unplanned / infrequent supports to 10 Clients of varying disabilities. The On Site Support Service is 24/7, specifically designed to support NDIS Clients when their usual supports are not available. This unplanned support may be something as simple as assisting a Client with their meal to providing personal care or emergency support in the instance of a fall or other incident.

This is a super cool role where no two days will be the same; but even better, the tenants at Marine Quarter are such an awesome bunch of people who just need a day to day hand from dynamic, dedicated and proactive Support Workers to help them live their best life.

The ideal person suited to this role is an experienced Support Worker with experience with a range of Clients and disabilities. There is a high customer service / hospitality component to this role (think hotel concierge service - with a superstar Support Worker role focus) ensuring that the entirety of the tenant's life (not just related to their disability) is the focus. This also requires a high degree of autonomy, problem solving, multitasking and the ability to prioritise multiple Client priorities.

We're not going to lie, we are not after people with a "Not My Job" mindset; an "I'm too busy" mindset, an "I wonder what messages I've missed on my phone" mindset - we need people who are willing to go over and above to support those we are charged to support and serve. We need people who will proactively find out how they can help and not wait for a call for support. We need people who are easy going, personable and who have an excellent work ethic, but most of all, we need decent, caring and responsible humans.

and the perks? No two days will be the same. You will be in a role where you can go home and know in your heart that you made a different to a person's life. You will be welcomed to an organisation that has its values well and truly aligned, who treat their staff with respect and who are supported in the good, the bad and the uncertain - and you'll earn a wage while doing it. We are truly a family minded service provider who want people with similar values and mindset.
