Based in Bondi Junction, you will support two women to live independently and confidently in a shared home. This role is focused on building independence, supporting daily routines, and encouraging participation in the community. To provide the best support, you'll be a positive, energetic person who can build strong relationships, take initiative, and remain confident whilst working independently.
Joining our Supported Independent Living (SIL) team on a permanent part-time basis, you will support people with disability in their home, providing assistance with daily living tasks, medication support, transport, and community access. Both clients are active in their local community through work and day programs, so you'll play a key role in helping them maintain their independence and achieve their goals.
