At Glenelg Support, we provide exceptional care for individuals with autism, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental health needs in a supported living environment. We pride ourselves on working closely with both individuals and their families to develop personalised support plans that make a real difference in people’s lives.

We are currently looking for dedicated and compassionate Female Support Workers to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who share our core values and have the skills to support those in need.

Some of our services do require candidates with experience in autism, complex needs, and mental health. For these roles, we seek individuals who can bring a deep understanding of these areas and demonstrate the ability to provide tailored support.
