Job description

Support NDIS Participants with Daily Living and Community Engagement

Are you passionate about empowering people to live independently and build a life that is fulfilling and meaningful to them? Whether you're new to the field or bring years of experience, you'll find a purpose-driven workplace with Primacy Care.

We are currently seeking Mental Health Key Workers to assist NDIS participants living with a psychosocial disability, with their daily living routines, community access, and NDIS goals.

Why Join Primacy Care?

• Team connection – Regular staff meetings, quarterly 1:1 and active Teams discussions

• Growth pathways – Build your skills in the mental health and disability sector

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – Wellbeing support for you, too

• Not an agency – You’ll build consistency and connection with your participants

• Registered NDIS Provider

• Shift structure
  Supports are typically delivered in short, participant-focused shifts, averaging around 2 hours per shift, depending on individual needs and schedules. This role is well suited to candidates seeking flexible, shorter shifts across the week rather than extended or full-day hours.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this community-based role, you’ll support participants with tasks that promote independence, build capacity, and community connection:

• Assisting with everyday domestic activities such as meal prep, personal care, domestic assistance, or grocery shopping

• Supporting safe transport to appointments or local outings

• Encouraging engagement in social and community activities

• Promoting the development of daily routines and independent living skills

• Documenting basic progress notes and communicating respectfully with care teams

This is a non-clinical, support-focused recovery role. You will make a tangible difference in someone’s life while gaining experience in the community services field.
