Support Workers
Forster & Taree Shared Living Services
At Aruma, we support people with disabilities to live great lives. It’s the reason we exist – after all, why should anyone have to settle for anything less? And to make this a reality, we rely on the skill and commitment of our Aruma team.
About the Role
Due to our growth and expansion, we currently have multiple opportunities for Support Workers. At Aruma, Support Workers are directly responsible for the day to day support, personal care and personal development of our Customers. Support Workers provide a range of community living services to assist people with a disability to be actively involved in their local community, be valued, respected and engaged in meaningful opportunities and relationships.
We’re looking for people who have values similar to ours, BRAVE people, but there’s no specific ‘mould’ you need to fit (after all, we need a team that’s as diverse as our Customers!).
