Full Job Description

Pay: AU$43.23 – AU$55.00 per hour

Job description:

Experienced Support Worker Required – Day Shifts & Potential Inactive Overnight Supports

We are seeking a compassionate, mature, and experienced Support Worker to provide ongoing support to a young female participant living requiring high intensity support needs. Training provided for the right person.

About the Participant

Our participant is a young woman with a great sense of humour who values genuine connections and consistency in her support team. Building trust and rapport is extremely important, and once a strong relationship is established, she is warm, engaging, and highly appreciative of quality support.

She also experiences significant hearing difficulties, which can create barriers to communication. For this reason, it is essential that support workers have clear, fluent English communication skills and are able to speak clearly and confidently. Effective communication plays a critical role in reducing misunderstandings, supporting her wellbeing, and building a positive working relationship.

Like many people living with significant anxiety, she can experience periods of heightened stress which may influence how she communicates and interacts with others. During these times, she may present as demanding, direct, or require additional reassurance. An understanding, patient, and calm approach is essential. It is important that support workers can remain professional, avoid taking communication personally, and understand that these presentations are often driven by anxiety rather than intent.

The participant generally responds best to mature female support workers, although mature male applicants with the right experience and approach will also be considered.

The ideal candidate will be:

A mature female support worker (mature males may also be considered)
Calm, patient, emotionally resilient, and confident
Fluent in English with clear verbal communication skills
Able to communicate effectively with someone who experiences hearing difficulties
Experienced supporting participants with complex anxiety and behavioural presentations
Experienced supporting individuals with high intensity supports (highly regarded)
Able to remain professional and not take challenging communication personally
Skilled at setting respectful boundaries while maintaining a supportive approach
Reliable, consistent, and committed to building long-term rapport

Shift Availability

Applicants must be available for:

Day shifts
Potential inactive overnight shifts as required

Essential Requirements

NDIS Worker Screening Clearance
Current First Aid & CPR Certificate
Current Driver's Licence and reliable vehicle
NDIS Worker Orientation Module
Relevant support work experience

If you are a compassionate and experienced support worker who understands the importance of patience, consistency, clear communication, and relationship-building, we would love to hear from you.

We also have other participants needing support in the Greater Adelaide region which way may be in contact about.
