AddressABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Civic offers a 24/7 service to our clientele. We are looking for Disability Support Worker predominantly for Sleepover and Night Shift. The sleepover shifts at Civic are a combination of PM shift followed by a sleepover component. The hours vary, so you will have the ability to work a range of hours between 14-74 per fortnight. You will be provided 1 site, so you can really get to know the clients and what they have to offer.
We have multiple opportunities for new employees to join our team. These opportunities are suitable for individuals with disability worker experience as well as aged-care/nursing backgrounds. Our clients have a wide variety of support requirements which differ between our accommodation sites with some requiring individuals with aged care/nursing skills and experience due to varying client needs.
If you come from a nursing, paramedic, or aged care background we would encourage you to apply, even if you are in your final year of studies! The clients will also need your support to get around, so a valid NSW driver’s licence is essential!
