Job description

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.

• Genuinely enjoy working with people, and build trust naturally
• Stay calm and use good judgement when things don't go to plan
