Make a meaningful difference with UnitingCare Community 

We’re looking for someone who wants to make the world a little better through small moments that leave big impacts. To build meaningful relationships and make a difference in the lives of others.

We are seeking Disability Support Workers for our clients based in Deception Bay. As an integral part of our Disabilities Services team, you’ll be supported to grow, and develop your own skills while helping our clients with day-to-day tasks and achieving their goals. 

As a Disability Support Worker, you will be balancing your commitment to actively work in partnership with individuals and their families while helping the people we support, in their own homes or within group care. 

The work is varied, interesting and fulfilling. This may include, helping someone to get-up, have a shower and breakfast and then head out to an appointment; or assisting someone to catch-up with friends for coffee, or engaging in favourite hobby, sport or a day out.

  • Able to work effectively with others in a team-oriented environment and provide excellent support to clients and co-workers
  • Being flexible (able to work varied hours and days) and reliable to meet the needs of the people we support
  • Able to effectively communicate in spoken and written English
  • Experience working in the Disability, Aged and Community sector is ideal but not essential – as long as you have positive attitude and a willingness to learn
  • A current NDIS Worker Screening check and Blue Card – don’t worry if you don’t have one, as we can help you apply prior to employment
  • Open Drivers License; and
  • Current CPR and First Aid Certificate (required before you start)
     

What makes a difference for you?

  • A recognition and rewards platform, providing employee discounts at hundreds of retailers, including everyday expenses, holidays, health insurance, annual awards celebration, wellbeing and employee assistance programs 
  • A positive and inclusive team based on respect, shared standards, strong values and a commitment to serving others 
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave and 2 weeks paid partner leave, available after 6 months service, in addition to the government scheme 
  • Diversity and inclusive leave, offering paid gender affirmation leave and cultural leave options (paid and unpaid) for those who may celebrate Lunar New Year, Diwali, Ramadan, NAIDOC weeks and other significant cultural events
