About the Role
Mindful Pathways Support is looking for an experienced Disability Support Worker who is calm, reliable and emotionally mature, with experience supporting people with psychosocial disability.
We take a psychology-informed, not clinical approach to support. We look at the whole person, not just the tasks that need to be completed.
For us, good support is built through trust, consistency and genuine respect. We want participants to feel comfortable with the people supporting them and to have support that builds confidence and independence over time.
This role would suit someone who takes the time to listen, understands that behaviour is communication, respects participant choice and can provide a steady presence even when someone is having a difficult day.
What You'll Be Doing
Depending on the participant and their goals, your role may include:
- Supporting daily routines and everyday living skills.
- Supporting meal preparation, household tasks and personal care.
- Supporting appointments, outings and community participation.
- Encouraging participants to build confidence and independence.
- Building professional, trusting relationships through consistency.
- Following individual support plans and agreed strategies.
- Working collaboratively with the participant's wider support team.
- Recognising and reporting changes or concerns appropriately.
- Completing accurate, respectful shift notes and documentation.
- Maintaining privacy, dignity and professional boundaries.
Who We're Looking For
We are particularly interested in applicants who have direct experience supporting people with psychosocial disability.
You will be someone who:
- Is calm, patient and emotionally mature.
- Is reliable and takes committed shifts seriously.
- Communicates respectfully and listens well.
- Understands person-centred and trauma-informed support.
- Encourages independence rather than automatically doing things for someone.
- Can use good judgement and remain steady when situations are challenging.
- Can work independently while communicating effectively with the wider team.
- Understands the importance of dignity, privacy and professional boundaries.
Qualifications in Disability, Individual Support, Community Services, Mental Health or a related area are highly regarded.
Requirements
Applicants should have, or be willing and eligible to obtain where appropriate:
- NDIS Worker Screening Check.
- Current First Aid and CPR.
- Current driver's licence.
- Reliable and insured vehicle.
- Right to work in Australia.
- Relevant experience working in disability support.
Additional participant-specific training may be required before commencing particular supports.
Availability
We are looking for someone who can offer consistent availability, rather than availability that changes significantly from week to week.
Some evening and weekend shifts may be available depending on participant needs.
Please include your current days and hours of availability when applying.
