Urgent start Warragul · Drouin Casual & part-time Posted 22 September 2026

Clear communication sits at the heart of this role. The people you support need to understand what's happening and feel genuinely heard. Families and our coordinators rely on accurate handovers, and every shift ends with clear, professional notes. If you speak and write well, explain things calmly and listen closely, you'll thrive here.

A nursing background is an added advantage, and your skills will be put to good use. Shifts are available now, and you'll be backed by a coordinator who answers the phone, a paid induction, and a buddy shift before you ever work alone.

• Use your skills and training to deliver safe, high-quality care that follows each support plan, including any health care needs.
• Build confidence, skills and independence step by step, guided by each person’s NDIS goals.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with the people you support, their families and our coordinators, and keep accurate progress notes after every shift.
• Notice changes in health, mood or wellbeing, and report them, and any incidents, promptly.

• Excellent communication: you speak and write English clearly, confidently and eloquently.
• Highly skilled in personal care, with experience in disability, community or health care support, or a Certificate III or IV in Individual Support.
• An NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain one before you start.
• A current Working with Children Check, plus First Aid and CPR certificates.
