Female High Intensity Disability Support Worker – Complex In-Home Care
You'll be supporting a 13-year-old boy living at home with his family in Glenwood. He has dyskinetic cerebral palsy with severe dystonia and chorea secondary to a FOXG1 gene variant, refractory seizures managed via ketogenic diet and multiple medications, dysphagia managed via PEG gastrostomy, cortical visual impairment and complex communication needs. He is a responsive, engaging young person who loves music, sensory play, car shows and time outdoors. This is a genuine high-intensity role. Two carers are required for all personal cares, transfers and repositioning, and the participant cannot be left unattended at any time.
Key responsibilities
Enteral feeding via PEG gastrostomy including preparation of ketogenic diet meals and administration via syringe
Medication administration including S4/S8 medications as per care plan
Seizure monitoring, recognition and response including buccal Midazolam administration when required
Dystonia management and repositioning every 1–2 hours including overnight
Manual handling — ceiling hoist/sling transfers and top-and-tail technique
Personal cares including continence management (double incontinence, frequent changes throughout the day)
Vital signs monitoring including oxygen saturations, heart rate and temperature
Skin integrity checks and pressure care
Home therapy program delivery including physio exercises, OT activities and sensory engagement
Accompanying the participant on community outings and school transport
About you
Experienced with overnight support
Skilled and reliable carer
Able to work shifts across mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends and active overnight shifts across all 7 days
Shifts Available
Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends and active overnight shifts across all 7 days. A minimum of two carers is required on shift at all times. Active overnight shifts are a regular part of this roster — please only apply if you are genuinely available and experienced with overnight support.
About the Contract
This is a contract/casual role. The participant is NDIS-funded and while his need for support is consistent, ongoing and significant — with 30+ hours available per week for reliable carers — we are unable to offer permanent employment due to the nature of NDIS plan funding cycles. We value long‑term team members greatly and aim to provide as much consistency and hours as possible for the right people. If you are a skilled, reliable carer this role can offer you stable, meaningful ongoing work.
