Developmental Support Worker jobs

We're looking for someone who genuinely cares.

At Dementia & Disability Home Services (DDHS), we believe exceptional support is built on genuine relationships, trust, and compassion. Every person we support has their own story, goals, and way of living, and we believe they deserve care that honours their individuality, empowers their choices, and helps them live with confidence.

Founded from lived experience, DDHS was created because we believe support should feel human. We know that the best outcomes come when people feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for.

We're looking for compassionate Support Workers who share these values and want to make a meaningful difference every day.
