SIL, Community Access & In Home Supports - Moreton Bay & Sunshine Coast
Bring your experience to a team that values professional support. We're looking for people who see disability support as a profession and treat it that way. People who understand that person-centred support isn't just something written in a care plan. It's how you show up, how you engage and what you do throughout every shift.
Disability support is about far more than personal care or completing tasks. It's about respecting someone's choices, recognising a change in their wellbeing and providing consistent support that contributes to a person’s quality of life. If you take pride in your work, stay genuinely engaged with the person you're supporting and understand the responsibility that comes with this profession, we want to hear from you.
This role isn't for everyone. We are an established registered NDIS provider delivering Supported Independent Living, Community Access and In-Home Supports across the Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast regions. Disability support carries real responsibility, including being present and not on your mobile. Every conversation, decision and interaction can either support or undermine someone's independence, dignity and quality of life.
Depending on the person you're supporting, your shifts may involve:
- personal care
- household tasks
- meal preparation
- community access
- appointments
- skill development
- implementing behaviour support strategies
- supporting people to become more independent in their everyday lives
We need people who are present, observant and engaged. People who notice what is happening, take initiative where appropriate and understand that simply being on shift isn't the same as providing good support. It takes someone who sees the person behind the support needs.
You take time to understand people and respect their decisions. You bring a steady, professional approach to challenging situations. You follow support plans and behaviour support strategies consistently. You communicate respectfully with participants, families and colleagues. You are reliable, take responsibility and ask for guidance when needed. You welcome feedback and opportunities to develop your skills. You can work across a mix of days, evenings, sleepovers and weekends.
This role suits experienced support workers who have supported people with a range of needs. Experience in mental health or psychosocial disability support will be particularly valued. You'll also understand that shift notes and incident reports aren't paperwork to get out of the way before going home; they are a critical part of quality support. What you observe and document helps us understand a person's progress, identify changes in their support needs and advocate for them when it matters.
Skills and experience count. Your values guide how you put them into practice.
What working with us is like: We're passionate about people with disability living great lives with choice, connection and opportunities to pursue what matters to them. We expect our team to share that commitment and bring it to their everyday work. That's why we hold high standards and take the time to find the right team for our participants. A warm body to fill a shift is never good enough. The person arriving needs the skills, approach and commitment to provide the support that participant deserves.
Our leaders work alongside the team, providing guidance, setting clear expectations and taking responsibility for the quality of support we deliver together.
Join the team: If you're looking for meaningful work and you're prepared to bring professionalism, care and genuine commitment to every shift, we'd like to hear from you.
