This is a highly autonomous role where you'll spend most of your time out in the community, supporting clients across Adelaide and building genuine relationships with the people you care for. No two days are quite the same, and you'll play an important role in helping clients navigate changing needs while continuing to live safely and confidently at home.

• Preference for 0.8 FTE (4 days per week, ideally Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday)
• Full-time may be considered for the right candidate
