About the role We are looking for several motivated, innovative, and creative Support Workers who are passionate about making a genuine difference in our clients’s lives. They should be patient and relationship-focused for their shifts to build up with the following clients:
1. An older lady with cognitive disability living in her own home in the Blue Haven area requires support with household tasks, meal preparation, transport, shopping, and other daily living activities. She is very upfront and clear about her needs. Applicants must be female with a positive attitude, be down-to-earth, and possess a high level of interpersonal skills so that they can connect with our client. She loves dogs and likes attending shows such as dog shows and Easter shows.
Shifts fall across 7 days per week between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The ideal candidate would be required to be available for at least five of those days and times.
2. A lady with a physical disability residing in the Wyong area requires support in the community. She loves to lead an active life and enjoys going out for coffee, lunch, and movies. She also likes to indulge in some arts and crafts activities, along with dancing. Applicants must be female and should be ready to support the client one day a week, between Tuesday and Friday, 9:00 a.m. and 2.30 p.m.
We are also on the lookout for casual staff to support various clients across the northern part of the Central Coast. Applicants can be male or female but must be reliable and friendly with a positive attitude and ability to problem solve. Experience in manual handling, behaviour plan management, and personal care is desirable but not essential.
How to apply:
Please attach your updated resume and cover letter outlining how you meet the requirements of the position.
All staff are required to hold a valid NSW Driver's Licence (P2/Full) and a First Aid Certificate (or be willing to obtain one). Our ideal candidate must be willing to utilise public transport and occasionally have the willingness to use their own vehicle for work.
As we work with vulnerable people, the successful candidate will also be required to undergo a NDIS worker screening check. We will endeavour to contact you within a week of receiving your application. If you have any questions about the role, please contact Pavi at ***********@unisson.org.au.
Good luck! We can’t wait to meet you!
