Disability Support Workers - SIL

Disability Support Worker: SIL (2:1 & 1:1) | Multiple Sites Available | Casual

About Us

Aligned Community Care is a registered NDIS provider specialising in mental health, psychosocial disability, SIL, complex behaviours and more. We believe the best outcomes come from consistency, compassion and evidence-based support, and we want people who genuinely care about making a difference.

Bring your energy and make a real difference!

We’re growing our Supported Independent Living (SIL) teams across Rossmore, Kemps Creek and the Campbelltown region, and we’re looking for experienced Disability Support Workers who bring positivity, drive and heart to every shift. This is a casual position (TFN) with an ongoing roster.
