Disability Support Professionals and Mentors

Allied Health Led Disability Support

SENIOR DISABILITY SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS

We know you have options. Here's why we hope you choose us.

Good disability support workers can work anywhere right now. You know it, we know it. So we're not going to pretend otherwise, or bury the real stuff under a list of buzzwords.

Here's what's also true. The sector is changing. From 1 July 2026, providers delivering high-risk supports, including personal care and daily living support, need to register with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Compliance expectations are tightening, and the providers who've always taken it seriously are the ones who'll still be good places to work on the other side of it. Worker screening, clinical compliance, proper training and real oversight aren't things we're scrambling to catch up on. That's how we've built this from day one.

We're especially keen to hear from support workers who bring lived experience and life maturity to their work, the kind that comes from having raised a family, changed careers, or supported someone you love. We're also looking for people who see this as a genuine vocation, not just a job between other jobs, and who want a career here, with real intention behind it.

If you're currently studying nursing or an allied health degree, we'd also love to hear from you. We understand what it's like to build work around placements, exams and unpredictable semesters, and we want to support that, not fight against it.

At The Orange Umbrella, we're allied health led, so you're never working in isolation. You've got a real team behind you, not just a rostering app and an emergency number. We cluster clients by area, west, north, north-east and south metro, so you're not burning your life in the car between shifts. We pay above award, and professional development here isn't a module you click through once a year. It's real growth, with real support behind it.

If you've done this work long enough to know the difference between a provider that talks the talk and one that backs it up, especially with everything shifting right now, we'd like the chance to show you.

What we're looking for

• Cert III minimum (higher quals welcome)
• Current First Aid/CPR and NDIS Worker Screening
• Genuine trauma-informed, neuroaffirming practice, not just the language of it
• Confident, clear English
• Lived experience and life maturity valued
• Career focused, vocational and intentional approach to the work
• Nursing or allied health students welcome, we'll work with your study commitments
• Experience with neurological, intellectual and psychosocial disability ideal

The market's thin. We know that means you're choosing us, not the other way around. If what we've said sounds like the kind of place you'd actually want to stay, get in touch.
