Fair warning: this one isn't for everyone.
And that's the point. We're looking for two support workers to join a small, consistent team for one of our participants in Coorparoo. We don't want a revolving door of new faces. We want two people who turn up, settle in and build real trust over time. There's plenty more work with our other participants too, if you want it.
Here's the honest bit
The person you'll support is direct. Very direct. He'll tell you exactly what he thinks, and he won't dress it up. If that makes you nervous, this probably isn't your role. If it makes you smile, keep reading.
He values his independence and his own pace. He doesn't need someone hovering, asking twenty questions or filling every silence. He needs someone who knows when to chat, when to give space and when to just be there.
You're our kind of person if you...
- Stay calm and grounded, and don't take hard moments personally
- Read the room and know when to step back
- Are patient and happy to work at someone else's pace
- Respect people's individuality and choices, with no judgement
- Have thick skin, sound judgement and a good sense of humour
- Back yourself and work well on your own
You're probably not the right fit if you...
- Need constant conversation to feel like you're doing your job
- Take participant feedback to heart
- Like to rush, fix or take over
Experience
Aged care or dementia support experience is a big plus. If you don't have it but this ad sounds like you, we'll arrange the training. Personality matters most here.
