Disability Support Worker jobs in Canada Bay NSW

Best Care Services is seeking 1–2 highly experienced and reliable Disability Support Workers to support a young person with community participation across the Lower North Shore.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a support worker who is confident working with young people with complex support needs and is looking to build a consistent, long-term relationship with a participant and their family.

The right candidate will need to have experience managing complex behaviours, experience with seizure management, first aid training and hold competency in administration of medication.

About the Role

The role involves supporting the participant with community participation two afternoons per week. Support will involve community access and activities in the Lower North Shore area. Shift times from 2:45pm to 6:45pm.

Consistency is paramount. We are seeking 1–2 committed support workers who can provide regular, reliable support each week.

We are particularly interested in support workers who are looking for a long-term, consistent arrangement. Continuity of care is extremely important, and we are looking for workers who can commit to the regular shifts rather than having different staff members rotate through the role.

About You

The ideal candidate will:

• Have significant experience supporting young people with complex support needs
• Have experience supporting people with ASD Level 3 and intellectual disability
• Be confident and experienced in responding to behaviours of concern, including aggression and self-injurious behaviours
• Have experience supporting people with epilepsy and seizure management
• Hold current First Aid and CPR certification
• Be confident and appropriately trained in medication administration and seizure management
• Be calm, patient, reliable and emotionally regulated
• Have excellent communication skills
• Be able to build a trusting and respectful relationship with the participant
• Be committed to providing consistent support and continuity of care
• Have a genuine interest in supporting young people to participate in their community and develop their independence
