Disability Support Workers – Marion & Southern Suburbs

Aspire Together is seeking reliable and compassionate Disability Support Workers to join our team on a casual basis, supporting participants across Marion and Adelaide's southern suburbs.

We are particularly interested in applicants based around Marion, Aberfoyle Park (SA 5159), Morphett Vale (SA 5162), Hackham (SA 5163) and surrounding suburbs, as this will provide convenient access to current and future shifts in these areas.

Weekday availability is particularly desirable, although applicants with other availability are also welcome to apply.

Aspire Together is a South Australian disability support provider committed to providing respectful, person-centred support that promotes independence, choice and community participation.

About the role

Depending on the needs of the participant, your work may include:

• Personal care and daily living support where required
• Providing encouragement, companionship and emotional support
• Supporting participants to work towards their individual goals
• Following support plans, procedures and participant preferences
• Completing clear and accurate shift notes on time, including behaviour observations and incident documentation where required

Shifts may vary according to participant needs, so flexibility with availability is valued. Applicants available during weekdays are especially encouraged to apply.

What we're looking for

We are looking for someone who is:

• Reliable and punctual
• Calm, patient and respectful
• Comfortable working independently and making calm, appropriate decisions in the community
• Able to build positive professional relationships with participants
• A clear communicator
• Able to maintain appropriate professional boundaries
• Genuinely interested in supporting people to have greater independence and choice

Previous disability or community support experience is highly regarded, but the right attitude, reliability and ability to connect well with participants are also important.

• Current NDIS Worker Screening clearance
• Current First Aid and CPR
• Australian driver's licence
• Reliable, roadworthy vehicle with comprehensive insurance

If you are dependable, respectful and interested in building ongoing working relationships with participants, we would be happy to hear from you.

Please apply with your current résumé and include your suburb, general availability (particularly weekdays) and any relevant disability support experience.
