Position Description
Grow your career as a Disability Support Worker in Specialist Services
With Yooralla Specialist Services, you’ll work in a rewarding role supporting people who have acquired disability as a result of progressive neurological conditions such as Huntington’s Disease or MS. You will support them to maintain their quality of life and live the life they choose. If you’re looking for great work/life balance, flexibility and a rewarding career where you can make a difference, then this is the job for you.
Permanent full-time and part-time roles (minimum 30 hours per fortnight) are currently available.
You’ll work in a dynamic, supportive, collaborative and at times fun environment, where you will actively interact with clients in their home environment. There will be many opportunities for you to learn, and to gain experience in high intensity support skills (for example, behaviour support, enteral feeding and catheter care).
4 reasons to join our disability support team!
-
Make meaningful connections and contribute to your local community. Enjoy rewarding (and at times fun) work where you can give back to the community and support people with disability to maintain their quality of life; and maybe even to achieve something they may not otherwise have done without your support…how good would that feel for everyone involved?
-
The ultimate work/life balance – A variety of day and night shifts, weekends and weekdays are available. Imagine how satisfying it would be going home from work after really making a difference in someone’s life?
-
You’ll have the support of other likeminded teammates, nurses and educators and a large, established organisation and you’ll be part of something bigger, as we work together supporting our clients. In Specialist Services, you’ll have educators and coordinators onsite, and for the really complex clinical aspects there are nurses to assist (on site 24-hours a day). We will give you all the support you need – including with safety, quality and compliance – because these are important to us, and they will need to be important to you too. You’ll undertake training and development, and there will be opportunities to develop your career, including support to undertake a professional qualification.
-
We offer a competitive hourly salary. You might get paid more than you think, and you can pick up additional shifts dependent on your availability and the needs of the people you support. Plus, you have the option of generous salary packaging benefits to increase your take home pay and reduce your taxable income.
