At the end of your shift…

You might drive home thinking about the little things that happened today.

Maybe someone tried something independently for the first time. Maybe they got through an appointment they'd been anxious about. Maybe they simply made their own lunch — something small to anyone else, but a big deal to them.

Not every win looks big from the outside. But when you know the person you're supporting, you notice the wins that matter to them.

That's what makes Disability Support different. You're not ticking off a list — you're helping someone build choice, confidence and independence on their own terms.

You might not remember everything you did today. But you'll remember the moments that mattered.

We’re looking for people who:

• Genuinely enjoy working with people, and build trust naturally
• Stay calm and use good judgement when things don't go to plan
• Are patient, reliable, and know how to really listen
• Are comfortable using initiative and making decisions

Your previous career, your life experience and the skills you’ve developed along the way can all make you a great Support Worker.

What you’ll need

• Current P2 or open’s driver’s licence and reliable vehicle
• Working with Children’s Check and NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain
• First Aid and CPR, or willingness to obtain
• The right to work in Australia

Ready for a job where the small things matter?

You might be changing industries or you might be starting something completely new.

Or you might simply be looking for work that feels more meaningful.

Whatever brought you here, we'd love to hear what you could bring.

Because you don’t need to have done this job before to have the skills to do it well.

Different industry. Same human skills. Bigger purpose.

Kanda is committed to maintaining a child-safe organisation.

We are proud to foster an inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe, respected and supported — we value diversity and believe it strengthens our team and the communities we serve
