Disability Support Workers | Become Part of Something Bigger
Brothers and Sisters in Arms (BASIA)

Don’t just be a support worker. Become part of a movement. Be part of something bigger.

At BASIA, we are building a team united by a clear purpose: raising the standard of disability support and helping people live with greater dignity, independence and possibility.

We are looking for driven, compassionate and dependable people who want their work to matter. People who take ownership, follow through and understand that meaningful change happens through the things we do every day.

We work in complex environments, and we thrive on excellence. Every shift is an opportunity to build trust, create stability and help someone move towards what matters to them.

Your key responsibilities

• Deliver individualised support that reflects each participant’s goals, preferences and support plans.
• Assist with daily living, personal care, household tasks, transport and community participation.
• Support people with complex needs, including behaviours of concern, using agreed strategies and positive behaviour support plans.
• Build respectful, professional relationships with participants, families and the wider support team.
• Recognise changes in wellbeing, behaviour or safety and promptly report concerns through the appropriate channels.
• Complete accurate, objective and timely progress notes, incident reports and other required records.
• Provide medication assistance and other specialised supports only where appropriately trained, assessed and authorised.
