Your Community Home (YCH) is a small company working in the NDIS space for 4 years. We follow the true NDIS principles of choice and control for the client with them directing their life, their support, and their decisions. This means working closely with clients to develop trust and safety and learning to understand their limitations and strengths. We seek to work with clients and employees that are self-directed, have purpose, and are team players.

Due to long time staff finding different life directions, we seek to build a new team for a much-loved client. We are looking for candidates for an immediate start.

The successful candidates will enjoy stable weekly scheduling, supportive and accessible management, training and development specific to the client, and generous casual salary.
