Yes! We would love to meet you.

If you don’t have experience yet, and you’re studying in a health-related area like nursing, psychology, occupational therapy, or paramedical studies let’s have a chat and see if we can make something work.

It’s important to us that you feel like you’re a valued member of our team. We give:

• Great training so you can feel confident and capable. This includes training with our clinical team and buddy shifts. We don’t want to throw you alone in the deep end!
• A great team to join so you feel supported and connected. Our Newcastle/ Hunter team is a pretty amazing group!

There are some other things you’ll need, like an NDIS Worker Screening Check, a First Aid Certificate, and a drivers licence. You won’t need to drive your own car to transport clients.
