Disability Support Worker (Casual Sleepover Shift)

Location: Mareeba, QLD (Travel allowance available for the right candidate travelling from Cairns.)

Join a nurse-led team where you're genuinely valued.

New Heights Nursing & Disability Services is a family-owned, nurse-led NDIS provider supporting participants throughout Cairns and the Tablelands.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for compassionate, reliable and motivated Support Workers who are passionate about making a genuine difference in people's lives.

Unlike larger providers, we pride ourselves on knowing our staff personally. You'll receive ongoing support from Registered Nurses, have direct access to management, and become part of a close-knit team that values communication, professionalism and high-quality care.

About the Role

You will provide person-centred support to NDIS participants in their homes and within the community. Every participant is different, so no two days are the same.

Your duties may include:

Personal care and assistance with daily living
Community access and social outings
Meal preparation and light domestic assistance
Transport to appointments and activities
Medication assistance (where appropriate)
Manual handling and mobility assistance
Supporting participants to achieve their goals
Completing accurate progress notes and documentation

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

Compassionate and genuinely enjoys supporting others
Reliable and punctual
A strong communicator
Professional in their presentation and attitude
Able to work independently and use initiative
Flexible with availability, including mornings, evenings and weekends
Willing to travel throughout Cairns and the Tablelands when required

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following is highly regarded:

Disability Support
Aged Care
Community Care
Nursing or Allied Health
Mental Health Support
High-intensity supports (desirable but not essential)

A Certificate III or IV in Individual Support, Disability or a related qualification is highly regarded but not essential for the right candidate.

Essential Requirements

✔ Current First Aid & CPR Certificate

✔ NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)

✔ Queensland Blue Card (or willingness to obtain)

✔ National Police Check

✔ Current Australian Driver Licence

✔ Reliable vehicle with comprehensive insurance

✔ Valid Australian working rights

Why Join New Heights?

✔ Nurse-led organisation with ongoing Registered Nurse support

✔ Small, supportive team where you're genuinely appreciated

✔ Flexible shifts to suit your availability

✔ Ongoing training and professional development

✔ Variety of participants and rewarding work

✔ Opportunities to grow with a rapidly expanding provider

✔ Supportive management that values communication, teamwork and your wellbeing

Ready to Join Our Team?

If you're passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred support and want to work for a provider that genuinely values both its participants and staff, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $40.00 – $50.00 per hour
