Job status: Long Term Contract
Eligibility: Open to Everyone
- Riverland Mallee Coorong Local Health Network, Riverland, Berri

Overview
We are looking for compassionate and competent Community Support Workers (Disability) to join our lovely team based in Berri.
The Regional Local Health Networks moved to a Consumer Directed Care model for the provision of aged care, disability, and support services. This allows consumers to maintain greater control over their lives by allowing them to make choices about the services they receive and who delivers those services. Consumers are encouraged to actively participate in identifying and setting goals, and to determine what level of involvement they want in managing their own care arrangements. This means that consumers have an active role in determining the shifts that are available, the duties that are performed, the frequency of demand for the service, and the choice of provider organisation.
The Community Support Worker is integral to supporting this model of care by providing services including personal care, cleaning, meal preparation, transport, and social support, to persons who are aged, frail, or disabled and who wish to remain living in their own home with some assistance or are living in a Residential Aged Care facility.
Community Support Workers need to be flexible, conscientious, and empathetic and be able to work autonomously in the community. They will work closely and collaboratively with the consumer, their family and other health professionals, to provide quality outcomes and maintain consumer independence where possible.
Essential Criteria
Applicant must have a Certificate 3 in Individual Support (Ageing, Disability or Home and Community).
