About you

Experience is valued but not essential as we can provide all training required. However, you will need to be proactive and take the initiative in ensuring you quickly learn how to do the job.

High hourly rate is to attract high quality support workers. To assist the client to achieve their goals the support worker must be willing to work quickly; must be flexible; must be able to think critically and problem solve; and must show initiative in maintaining the client's life and residence. We are a small team of carers and the ability to fill additional shifts, even on short notice, is critical. Punctuality and reliability is essential. The position is casual but only people planning to stay in the position for at least 2 years will be considered. You must have the right to work in Australia.

Flexibility is important. You will be required to work both morning and afternoon/evening shifts and must be able to reliably travel to the client's residence for those shifts. We work together to keep the roster filled when someone wants time off but you must be willing to work on public holidays such as New Years Eve, New Years Day and Christmas Day as required to complete the roster.

You must be a very organised person. We need flexibility and notice when you are going on holiday and can't work so that everyone is aware that additional shifts need to be worked.

Include in your resume any relevant experience and/or qualifications earned in Australia or overseas. Where you have experience working as an EN, AIN, or disability support worker provide as much detail as possible of the specific tasks you performed and assistance you provided to patients and clients that may be relevant to the position.
