Are you someone who leads with empathy, patience, and a true heart for care?
My Disability Care is seeking a compassionate, reliable female support worker to join our team in providing high-quality, 24/7 support for a wonderful woman in her 40s living with Level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder.
She is non-verbal and occasionally uses gentle self-soothing behaviors, including mild self-injury, to regulate her emotions. While this might seem concerning at first, you’ll find with the right support and understanding, it’s far more manageable than it appears.

- Location: Keperra (In-person role)
- Pay Rate: $33.28 per hour (plus applicable penalty rates)

Key Responsibilities:
- Emotional Support: Being a calming, reassuring presence during moments of anxiety or self-soothing behaviors.
- Personal Care: Assistance with hygiene, toileting, dressing, and showering with dignity and respect.
- Meal Preparation: Helping with daily meal planning and preparation to promote a balanced diet.
- Home Support: Maintaining a clean, organized, and supportive living environment.
- Behavioral Awareness: Reading non-verbal cues and responding sensitively to needs.
- Guardian Communication: Working professionally with a highly involved guardian who values consistent, high-quality care.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience: Prior experience with personal care or community support is a plus — but if you’re eager to learn, we’re happy to train the right person!
- Personal Qualities:
- Patient, calm, and intuitive
- Strong observational skills
- Emotionally resilient and adaptable
- Reliable, punctual, and committed to consistency
- Mandatory Requirements:

- NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)
