Disability Support Staff - COMPLEX FEMALE SIL SUPPORT WORKERS

CURRENTLY SEEKING FEMALE SIL SUPPORT WORKERS
The complex, rewarding, no-two-days-the-same kind…

Due to the nature of this program, this role is open to female applicants only. We support women with complex needs in three of our SIL homes, with another program starting soon, and our participants have the right to choose who provides their personal care. That's not a footnote — it's the whole point of what we do.

Now, with that said — let's talk about why you'd actually want this job.

Tired of the same old grind? Ready for something that actually challenges you? We have two SIL homes in Ballarat filled with incredibly complex, incredibly rewarding women who need someone who knows their stuff — personal care, manual handling, positive behaviour support — and who genuinely shows up for people, not just for a paycheck.

We need cover across all shifts, 24/7 — so whatever your availability looks like, we want to hear from you. That said, our most in-demand windows right now are early mornings (6am–9am) and late afternoons/evenings (3pm–8pm), so if those work for you, you'll be in high demand from day one.

Please include your availability in your application.

Come across casually and pick up shifts that work for you while you figure out if it's the right fit. No pressure, no being automatically rostered somewhere that doesn't feel right. We'll always check in with you first.

Here's what makes Step Up different…

We have a 'Home Base' activity centre available to staff and clients 7 days a week — so no endless laps of shopping centres or driving around wondering what to do next. Meaningful engagement, sorted.

You're not a number, you're not just a name on a roster. If something isn't working, we want to know — and we'll do something about it.

We never send you somewhere without asking if you feel skilled up and comfortable. If it's not the right fit, that's okay. We'd rather get it right than rush it.

We invest time in our staff — fresh from study or seasoned in complex support, we're in your corner either way.

We listen when you talk and act on what we hear. Continuous improvement here isn't just for audit season.

What we need from you:

• Minimum 2 years professional experience in disability, or a relevant qualification
• Experience supporting people with complex behaviours of concern — PBS knowledge a real bonus
• Confident with personal care and manual handling
• Full driver's licence and comprehensive car insurance
• NDIS Worker Screening Check and WWC Check
• COVID vaccination
• Strong written and verbal communication — your shift notes matter to us and to our clients
• A passion for doing things differently
