Disability Support in A School jobs in New South Wales

About Us

At Impact Supports Hub, we believe disability support should be about more than simply providing care. It's about creating opportunities, building meaningful connections, promoting independence and empowering people to live life on their own terms.

We are a growing, person-centred disability support organisation providing individualised support to people with diverse needs, abilities and goals across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions.

Our approach is grounded in dignity, respect, choice and inclusion. We value creativity, collaboration and genuine relationships, and we are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of the people we support.

About the Role

We are seeking enthusiastic, compassionate and reliable Casual Disability Support Workers to join our growing team.

This is an opportunity for individuals who genuinely enjoy supporting others, are willing to think outside the box and understand that great support looks different for every person.

Our participants have a diverse range of support needs, including autism, intellectual disability, psychosocial disability and complex support requirements.

Depending on your skills, experience and interests, your role may involve:

• Supporting participants with everyday living activities and developing independent living skills.
• Assisting with personal care, meal preparation, household routines and medication support where appropriately trained and authorised.
• Supporting community access, social participation, recreational activities and meaningful experiences.
• Providing support within Supported Independent Living (SIL) environments.
• Implementing individualised support plans, positive behaviour support strategies and proactive approaches to emotional regulation.
• Encouraging choice, self-determination and the development of confidence and independence.
• Building positive, professional relationships with participants, families and other members of their support network.
• Maintaining accurate shift notes, incident documentation and professional communication.
• Supporting participants to achieve their individual NDIS goals.

No two days are the same! One shift might involve developing daily living skills, while another could include fishing, exploring the community, attending appointments or supporting someone to work towards a personal goal.

• Proactive problem-solvers who can take initiative while respecting participant choice and autonomy.
• Willing to learn, receive feedback and continue developing their professional skills.
• Passionate about supporting people to build independence, meaningful relationships and community connections.

We particularly welcome applicants who have interests, hobbies or skills they would enjoy sharing with participants, whether that's fishing, sports, gaming, cooking, arts, outdoor adventures or something completely different.

• Current NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain one prior to commencing.
• Current Working With Children Check where required for the role.
