Job description

Hands Down The Best Pty Ltd – Capalaba QLD

GOOD SUPPORT WORKERS MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE.

Great ones make the day a little brighter, too.

Hands Down the Best is hiring experienced Disability Support Workers across the Bayside, Redlands and Northern Brisbane suburbs.

We're looking for people who know their stuff, enjoy what they do, and bring a little personality to their work.

At Hands Down the Best, we take the responsibility of supporting people seriously, but that doesn't mean every day needs to feel serious.

We believe great support comes from genuine connections, a positive attitude, practical skills, and knowing when to have a laugh.

We're looking for experienced Disability Support Workers who are capable, adaptable, and confident supporting people with a range of physical, personal care, and behavioural support needs.

What You’ll Need

We're seeking applicants who meet the following requirements:

• Certificate III or higher in Individual Support, Disability, Community Services, or a related field.

• Practical experience with transfers and hoists, including safe manual handling techniques and the ability to assist with pushing and manoeuvring manual wheelchairs when required.

• Experience supporting people with behaviours of concern, including de-escalation strategies and positive behaviour support approaches.

• Current First Aid and CPR certification.

• Current Manual Handling training/accreditation.

• Completion of the NDIS Worker Orientation Module, Quality, Safety and You.

• Valid Queensland driver's licence.

• Reliable vehicle with comprehensive motor vehicle insurance.

The Person Behind the Qualifications Matters Too

We love working with people who are approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely interested in others.

People who can think on their feet, have a sense of humour, take initiative, and adapt when the day doesn't quite go to plan.

You'll need to be professional and dependable, but we'd also love you to bring your own personality to work.

We value people who are open to feedback, willing to learn, and understand that even experienced support workers can continue developing their skills.

You don't need to know everything. You do need to care about doing things well.

What Can You Expect From Us?

We understand that disability support work can be rewarding, unpredictable, challenging and, at times, a whole lot of fun.

You'll have access to approachable leaders with genuine, hands-on disability sector experience. Our leadership team understands the realities of working directly with participants and is committed to providing practical guidance, encouragement, and support when you need it.

We want our team members to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and seeking advice without feeling judged.

We value open communication, mutual respect, and a workplace where people feel supported to do their jobs well.

Most importantly, we want people to enjoy coming to work.

Sound Like Your Kind of Workplace?

If you're experienced, reliable, capable, and bring a positive attitude to the people around you, we'd love to hear from you.
