Disability Support Worker

Empowering Choice. Building Capacity. Supporting Meaningful Lives.

At Kirinari, we deliver person-centred, therapeutic supports that empower people with disability to live the life they choose.

We're seeking experienced Disability Support Workers who are passionate about building meaningful relationships, supporting independence, and helping participants achieve their goals.

Why This Role Is Different

You won't simply be completing tasks.

You'll be part of a therapeutic support model that focuses on:

✓ Strengths-based practice

✓ Trauma-informed support

✓ Positive Behaviour Support principles

✓ Capacity building and skill development

✓ Choice, control and self-determination

✓ Meaningful community participation

✓ Consistency, trust and relationship-based supports

Every interaction is an opportunity to support a participant to build confidence, develop skills, increase independence and achieve personal outcomes.

About the Role

Using a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach you will:

• Support participants to build independence and daily living skills
• Implement Positive Behaviour Support strategies
• Promote choice, control and self-determination
• Facilitate community participation and social connection
• Support participants to achieve their individual goals
• Maintain accurate documentation and progress notes

Success in this role is measured not by tasks completed, but by outcomes achieved and the positive impact made in a participant's life.

Who We're Looking For

You'll be a strong fit for our team if you:

✓ Understand person-centred and strengths-based practice

✓ Can build genuine and respectful relationships

✓ Are calm, resilient and emotionally intelligent
