CHRISTMAS CASUAL POSITIONS

At Kirinari, we deliver person-centred, therapeutic supports that empower people with disability to live the life they choose.

We're seeking experienced Disability Support Workers who are passionate about building meaningful relationships, supporting independence, and helping participants achieve their goals.

Why This Role Is Different

You won't simply be completing tasks.

You'll be part of a therapeutic support model that focuses on:

• Strengths-based practice
• Trauma-informed support
• Capacity building and skill development
• Choice, control and self-determination
• Meaningful community participation
• Consistency, trust and relationship-based supports

Every interaction is an opportunity to support a participant to build confidence, develop skills, increase independence and achieve personal outcomes.

• Support participants to build independence and daily living skills
• Implement Positive Behaviour Support strategies
• Promote choice, control and self-determination
• Facilitate community participation and social connection
• Support participants to achieve their individual goals
• Maintain accurate documentation and progress notes

Success in this role is measured not by tasks completed, but by outcomes achieved and the positive impact made in a participant's life.

Who We're Looking For

You'll be a strong fit for our team if you:

• Understand person-centred and strengths-based practice
• Can build genuine and respectful relationships
• Are calm, resilient and emotionally intelligent
• Can balance empathy with professional boundaries
• Are committed to participant choice and dignity
• Availability during December 2026 and January 2027
• Current NDIS Worker Screening Clearance
• Current First Aid and CPR
• Current Driver Licence
• Reliable and insured vehicle
• Working With Children/Vulnerable Persons Check

What We Offer

• A Supportive Therapeutic Culture
• Regular coaching and reflective practice
• Professional Development and internal career opportunities
• Positive Behaviour Support training
• Therapeutic support skill-building
• Flexible rosters with genuine work-life balance

Diversity and Inclusion

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures, identities and lived experiences.

Reasonable adjustments are available throughout the recruitment process and employment journey.

If you're passionate about person-centred supports and want to be part of a team that focuses on capability, independence and meaningful outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

Applications close Friday 6th November 2026 and 5.00pm.

Due to the high volume of applications, the interview process may commence before the closing date.
