Inspired by the Montessori philosophy, we work with families seeking peace of mind, building caring relationships based on respect, dignity and trust.

We are person-centred, always. People are at the core of what we do every day. Whether it’s our clients, their families or our own staff, our vision is to promote autonomy, dignity and personal growth, helping every individual live a life they choose.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced High Intensity Disability Support Worker to join a stable, coordinated care team supporting an NDIS participant in the Wattle Grove area.

  • Certificate III or IV in Individual Support (Disability/Ageing/Home & Community) or equivalent (highly regarded)
  • Demonstrated 2 years’ experience in high-intensity/complex care disability supports (in-home, SIL, hospital discharge or similar)
  • Experience supporting children or young people with complex needs (highly regarded)
  • A warm, friendly and engaging nature, with the ability to build connection through conversation, play and non-verbal communication
  • A calm, patient approach and comfort following the family’s lead and established care routines
