Support Worker

I am a young man living with my foster family in Port Kennedy. I’m a gregarious person who loves animals, exploring the world around me and activities like bowling and mini-golf.

I am looking to add to my team of Support Workers, who assist me to get ready to attend school each weekday morning, ensure I can wind down after school in the afternoon and be ready to go out on adventures in my local community on Saturdays.

I’m looking to meet new people who can help me live an active and fulfilling life – can this be you?

The right person will be somebody who is:

• Manual Handling and usage of a Hoist
• Complex Behaviour Support

About Me

I have complex care needs. I communicate using an iGaze tool and receive all nutrition and hydration through an enteral feeding system. I also require the use of a Hoist to transfer to and from my wheelchair. I have a wicked sense of humour and love exploring new environments, meeting new people and engaging in new activities that are thoughtful & considered.

I enjoy:

• Exploring my local community
• Animals
• Bowling & Mini-Golf
• Arts & crafts
• Spending time with my foster family

Why Join my Team?

You’ll learn that supporting me isn’t just a job – it’s an opportunity to help me live a fulfilled and purposeful live, full of discovery & wonder. You’ll be welcomed into a supportive environment where you truly matter, receiving training and support tailored to my specific needs.

If you’re passionate about support work and want to be part of something long-lasting and meaningful, I would love to hear from you.
