Some roles need someone who can stay calm, think on their feet, and genuinely connect - even when things don't go to plan. In Mount Vernon, you'll be supporting a participant with complex needs, and the right person for this brings real experience, steady confidence, and a person-centred approach to every shift.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting the participant through their daily routine in a way that respects their independence and pace
  • Helping around the home so day-to-day life runs more smoothly
  • Getting out into the community together, supporting social participation and connection
  • Applying positive behaviour support approaches, guided by the participant's individual plan
  • Building a genuine, respectful relationship with the participant and working alongside their family and support team

You're The Right Person If...

  • You have experience supporting people with disability, including individuals with behaviours of concern or complex needs
  • You're calm under pressure and confident navigating individual routines that don't always go to plan
  • You're caring, patient and reliable - someone people can count on
  • You communicate clearly and build trust easily, with participants, families, and the wider care team
  • You hold a P2 or Open licence with a reliable insured vehicle, a current NDIS Worker Screening Check, and a Working with Children Check

Shifts Available

  • Monday: 6:00pm – 10:00pm
  • Plus additional casual shifts as they become available

Why Kanda
You won't be handed a roster and left to figure it out — Kanda pairs paid induction with shadow shifts, so you start supported and stay supported. There's an on-call team behind you for the moments that need it, plus genuine development opportunities if you want to grow beyond this role. Kanda works across disability, aged care, child and family services, community nursing and veterans' care, so there's real breadth here if you're building a career in community services, not just a job.

If this sounds like your kind of work, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out to Samantha - Talent Acquisition Specialist on (02) •••• •300.
