Two Campus Locations: Slacks Creek & Greenbank.

We are looking to fill multiple positions for our backfill casual pool. If you are an active, empathetic, and optimistic individual who is passionate about supporting individuals with disabilities to enjoy a fulfilling life, this role could be very suitable for you. Flexible shifts are available, so University students or individuals looking for a second job are also encouraged to apply.

About Us

BEST Disability Support (BEST) is an NDIS-funded learning centre in Logan that teaches real life and work skills with tangible results through modern programs young adults actually want to engage in. We offer both group and 1:1 supports, as well as community access supports to young people aged 16-30.

The Role

At BEST, we do things differently to the rest of the industry, so we need someone who is truly invested in our mission. You will be supporting - not leading - our Members as they learn new life and work skills, and you will have a passion or talent that you can share with them as well!

Your Duties

As a Support Worker, known as a Mentor, you will be responsible for the safety, fun, and learning of young people with disabilities.

Your day-to-day tasks will include, but are not limited to:

Assisting Members as they learn new skills in one of our many programs

Ensuring Member safety both on campus and when out in the community

Providing emotional and social support to Members

Investing in the success of our Members and supporting them to achieve their goals

Your Skills

Prior experience and/or qualifications in the community services sector are desirable but not essential.

Absolute must-haves:

Ability to work in a fast-paced environment: No, seriously, we’re constantly on the move, whether that be on campus or at parks, shops, and more!

Be a jack-of-all-trades: Diverse backgrounds and skills are key to ensuring our Members have exposure to a wide range of experiences, so be sure to let us know of any of your weird, wacky, and wonderful areas of interest.

A compassionate personality: You must be a patient, kind, and caring person as we will not accept anything less

Be and have fun: We want all of our staff and Members to love coming to BEST, so being someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously is essential (singing and dancing badly is encouraged)

Belief in the BEST mission: We want our Members to actually learn the skills they need to achieve their goals, and eventually not need us anymore!
