Job description

About the Role

As an SCP Community Support Worker, you will provide person‑centred support to clients across DLi’s social and community participation programs. You will work with our clients, their families and support networks to help people achieve their goals, build independence and take an active part in their communities. It is a rewarding role where you will make a real difference in people\'s lives.

Current Shift Opportunities

We have multiple casual roles available across metropolitan Adelaide, covering 1:1 community support, in-home support and shared group support at our Windsor Gardens hub, where a number of shifts fall within school hours.

There are currently plenty of shifts available, so team members who offer wide availability and are open to a mix of locations and support types can scale up their hours to suit them.
