Are inconsistent or unreliable

Prefer low-intensity or companion-based roles

This Role IS Suitable If You

Stay calm under pressure

Can manage challenging environments professionally

Follow instructions without deviation

Take accountability for safety and care delivery

Are reliable and attend all rostered shifts

Minimum Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

Minimum 6 months disability or complex care experience

Working With Children Check (or willing to obtain immediately)

Ability to start within 72 hours

Highly Regarded

Experience in complex or high-risk home environments

Catheter and/or stoma care experience

Behavioural support experience

What We Offer

Immediate shifts available

Consistent 10–30 hours per week

Paid buddy shifts with experienced staff

Direct management support and clear escalation pathways

Structured systems and expectations

We are moving quickly.

To be considered, you must apply via Indeed, be available for a phone or in person interview within 48 hours and be ready to commence shifts within 7 days.

Apply Now

This role will be filled quickly.

Only applicants who demonstrate reliability, resilience, and capability in complex environments will be progressed.
