SUPPORT WORKERS WANTED

Mosman Park & East Fremantle, Perth WA
Casual | $42 per hour + superannuation

Make a meaningful difference. Support independence. Build a lasting working relationship.

We are seeking reliable, experienced and compassionate support workers to join a dedicated team supporting a motivated, engaging and university-educated 40-year-old man with Cerebral Palsy.

Currently living with his parents in Mosman Park, he is preparing for an exciting transition to his own home in East Fremantle. We are looking for people who are passionate about person-centred support and committed to helping him live life on his own terms, with greater independence, choice and connection to his community.

He is articulate, has a great sense of humour and enjoys travel, music, technology and good conversation. He is also exploring future study opportunities and wants to remain active, socially connected and engaged in the things that matter to him.

If you are an experienced support worker looking for meaningful, ongoing work where your contribution genuinely matters, we would love to hear from you.

About the role

This position is suited to support workers who are confident delivering high-level personal care and complex physical support in a respectful, dignified and person-centred manner.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Personal care: Assistance with showering, dressing, toileting and daily routines.
• Clinical and complex care: External catheter management, bowel care and PEG care.
• Eating and drinking: Assistance as required, following established care plans.

Training will be provided in PEG care, catheter and bowel care, and relevant assistive technology systems. Applicants must still have experience with one-person manual handling and be willing to undertake all required training before performing delegated care tasks.
