If you are a reliable support worker who enjoys community-based work and helping participants become more active and independent, we would love to hear from you. Please apply with your resume and include your availability for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Grace Quality Care is seeking a reliable, friendly and proactive NDIS Support Worker to provide regular community access and transport support to a male participant in the Dandenong area.
Our client is an independent man in his early 50s who is able to manage his own personal care and drive. He has strong family and community connections and enjoys getting out into the community. He would like to become more active, increase his community participation and have consistent support to assist him with appointments, activities and day-to-day outings.
This role would suit a support worker who is personable, dependable and comfortable spending time out in the community. Both male and female applicants are welcome, and there is no particular age preference.
Available Shifts
We are seeking someone with consistent availability on:
- Wednesday – approximately 4–6 hours
- Thursday – approximately 4–6 hours
- Friday – approximately 4–6 hours
- Expect approximately 5 hours of support per day on average
- Ongoing regular shifts for the right person
- Kilometres travelled while providing approved participant support will be reimbursed
Consistency is important, so preference will be given to applicants who can commit to all three days on an ongoing basis.
What You Will Be Doing
The role will primarily involve transport assistance, community access and social support, including:
- Supporting the participant to attend appointments and commitments
- Providing transport and assistance with travel within the community
- Supporting community access and participation
- Assisting with shopping, errands and other day-to-day activities
- Encouraging the participant to get out of the house and participate in activities of his choice
- Supporting the participant to build greater independence and confidence within the community
- Providing companionship and positive social engagement
- Assisting the participant to work towards his NDIS goals
- Maintaining appropriate shift notes and documentation following each shift
- Communicating any relevant concerns or changes to the Grace Quality Care team
This is not primarily a personal care role. The participant is relatively independent and is looking for a worker who can support him to get out and about, attend activities and appointments, and make better use of his community supports.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Friendly, respectful and easy to communicate with
- Reliable and punctual
- Patient and non-judgemental
- Able to encourage independence rather than doing everything for the participant
- Comfortable providing community access and transport support
- Able to establish appropriate professional boundaries
- Confident working independently in the community

- Genuinely interested in helping someone increase their independence and quality of life
