Archery Australia is the National Sporting Organisation for Archery in Australia, and our vision is for Archery to be a sport for all, for life. Archery Australia comprises of three levels of management: the Archery Australia Office and Board, State-based Recognised Governing Bodies (RGBs) and local Clubs.
Archery Australia’s High-Performance Program are looking to create a small pool of High-Performance Personal Carers to support the operations of the program, primarily by supporting athletes with disability at National Team and National Program activities. Those in the pool are employed on a contract basis and may select which events they are available to support.
The High-Performance Personal Carer will be responsible for providing personal care services to athletes with disability on Archery Australia National Teams and National Program activities. These teams and activities are designated by the High-Performance Wellbeing Manager based off the needs of the athletes, and primarily will be at Domestic Camps and International Camps and Competitions. Domestic Camps may occur frequently throughout the year (2-5 times approximately), and International Camps and Competitions occur very infrequently (1-2 times approximately). This role includes development and ongoing review of individual care plans relevant to these teams and activities and identifying risks to health and safety as well as other supportive duties within reason for the team while away.
Key Responsibilities:
- The provision of personal care services to athletes with disability on Archery Australia National Teams and National Program activities.
- Assistance in the development, revision or adaption of individual care plans where required for prescribed National Program and National Team activities.
- Identifying and raising risks to health and safety of athletes within their care with the relevant team manager.
- Providing support to athletes with disability during anti-doping testing as required.
