NDIS Support Worker
Prefer MySolas
Job Description
This role involves providing consistent, therapeutic 2:1 support to a young person with complex support needs.
The young person benefits from calm, predictable and relationship-based support from workers who can build trust, maintain clear boundaries and remain regulated during periods of heightened emotion or distress.
The role includes supporting with:
- Daily routines and independence skills
- Community access and meaningful activities
- School attendance and engagement where required
- Emotional regulation and behaviour support strategies
- Social skills, communication and positive relationships
- Engagement in interests such as cooking, gaming, technology, board games and creative activities
- Maintaining a safe, structured and low-arousal environment
- Following Behaviour Support Plans, risk assessments and approved restrictive practice requirements where applicable
- Accurate documentation and communication with the broader support team
You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, alongside family, behaviour support, psychology, psychiatry and other relevant stakeholders.
We are looking for workers who are calm, confident, emotionally regulated and genuinely interested in building a long-term therapeutic relationship with the young person. Consistency is particularly important, so applicants must be able to commit to regular set shifts.
This is not simply a community access role. It requires workers who understand that behaviour is communication and who can provide safe, respectful and person-centred support during both everyday routines and more challenging moments.
Roster: Monday to Friday, with shifts scheduled between 6:00am and 6:00pm. Applicants must have availability within these hours and be able to commit to regular, consistent shifts.
