We are looking for people who genuinely care about the people they support and take pride in helping others live more independently, confidently and meaningfully.
Whether you are an experienced Support Worker looking for a new opportunity, someone looking to enter the disability sector, or a student studying in a health-related field wanting to gain valuable practical experience, we would love to hear from you.
About the Role
As a Disability Support Worker with Seimosei, you will provide personalised support to individuals with a range of needs, helping them with day-to-day activities, independence, community participation and skill development.
The role involves a mix of in-home support, personal care, daily living assistance and community access, with the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with the people you support.
The People We Support
Seimosei provides support to people living with:
- Mental health conditions
- Intellectual disabilities
- Physical disabilities
- A range of individual support needs
Every person we support is different, so we value workers who are adaptable, patient and willing to understand each individual's preferences, goals and needs.
Key Responsibilities
Your responsibilities may include:
- Providing personal care and assistance with daily living
- Domestic assistance and maintaining a safe, comfortable home environment
- Cooking and meal preparation
- Supporting clients to access and participate in their local community
- Supporting appointments, activities and social participation
- Developing and encouraging independent living skills
- Supporting individuals to work towards their personal goals
- Building positive and respectful relationships with clients
- Providing encouragement, companionship and emotional support
- Following individual support plans and workplace procedures
- Maintaining professional boundaries and respecting client dignity, choice and privacy
What We’re Looking For
We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have previous experience in disability support, aged care, mental health, community services or a similar field.
However, experience is not the only thing we value.
We also encourage applications from:
- People looking to begin a career in the disability sector
- Students studying nursing, allied health, psychology, social work or another health-related field
- People with relevant personal or professional experience who are looking to transition into support work
- Individuals who are reliable, compassionate and genuinely motivated to help others
Most importantly, we are looking for people who treat the people they support with dignity, respect and kindness.
What's in It for You?
At Seimosei, we believe that the same level of care and support we expect you to provide to our participants should also be shown to you.
We are a close-knit team, and our management team is approachable and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of our Support Workers. We understand that support work can be challenging, both mentally and emotionally, and we strive to create a workplace where you feel safe, supported and valued.
When you join Seimosei, you can expect:
- Regular check-ins, particularly when starting with us or supporting someone new
- Approachable management and a diverse team of people you can talk to and feel comfortable with
- Support and debriefing following incidents or challenging situations
- Access to an external Employee Assistance Program (EAP) when you need additional support
- A team that looks out for one another and understands the realities of support work
- The opportunity to work with a team that cares about you, not just the work you do
We don't expect you to carry the challenging parts of this work alone. When you support others, we believe you deserve to be supported too.

- Caring, patient and empathetic
