At Chosen Family, we believe great support is about more than completing tasks. It is about building trust, creating genuine human connection, encouraging independence and helping each person live life on their own terms.
We are looking for a calm, patient, reliable and compassionate Female Disability Support Worker to provide ongoing support to a 61-year-old male participant in North Sydney.

You should be comfortable driving the participant to appropriate community destinations and supporting safe and meaningful participation outside the home.
There is flexibility across the week, and Support Workers are encouraged to indicate the days and times they are available.
We are particularly interested in people who can offer consistent and ongoing availability, as continuity is important for this participant.

Build trust. Support independence. Create meaningful connection.
Chosen Family is an inclusive, trauma informed NDIS provider delivering person centred support across social and community participation, support coordination, and psychology services.
We work alongside participants to understand their goals, experiences, and everyday needs, and design support that reflects real life, not just a plan on paper. Our approach is practical, flexible, and grounded in building meaningful outcomes over time.
Our services include community participation, daily living support, support coordination, and access to psychology services. We support individuals to build independence, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with their communities in ways that feel safe, comfortable, and aligned with who they are.
Chosen Family operates through a wraparound support model, where support workers, coordinators, and clinicians work together to provide consistent and connected care. This ensures participants are supported across all areas of life, rather than navigating services in isolation.
We have a strong focus on supporting individuals with complex needs, including those experiencing mental health challenges, trauma, or social isolation. Our team takes a respectful and understanding approach, ensuring support is always person centred and identity affirming.
We work closely with support coordinators, plan managers, allied health professionals, and community organisations to build strong referral pathways and collaborative outcomes.
At Chosen Family, we believe support should feel clear, consistent, and genuinely helpful. Our focus is on building trust, improving everyday life, and supporting long term independence.
