This is a part-time role to start, with a genuine path to full-time as your caseload builds. You'll manage your own diary and travel, visiting NDIS participants across Sydney's south and inner west, working independently in the community rather than in a clinic setting. The work is relationship-based - repeat visits with the same participants over time, not one-off appointments.
DAY TO DAY, YOU MIGHT BE
- Providing wound care and pressure injury management
- Undertaking catheter insertion and management (IDC/SPC)
- Supporting PEG feeding and enteral nutrition
- Administering medication
- Conducting continence assessments and product recommendations
