What will a typical day look like?
Wondering what you will be doing day-to-day? When it comes to support work, variety is definitely the spice of life!
Each client will have different needs, but one of your main responsibilities is to socialise with them and be a companion and friend. This includes chatting and interacting with them and providing emotional support. These interactions can have a positive impact on a client's mental health and overall well-being.
You will also have to take care of daily chores like general cleaning, housekeeping, and cooking. Many clients will also need help with personal care tasks such as showering, shaving and getting dressed. Clients also may need to be driven to medical appointments, events in the community, or down to the local shops.
Requirements for the role
You must have or be willing to obtain a Police Check, Working With Children Check (WWCC), NDIS Workers Check and First Aid Certificate.
Proof of identity (100 points).
Many roles will also require you to own, or have access to a registered and insured car, to transport clients to medical appointments and social activities in the community.
You need to be willing to travel between client homes throughout your shift.
If you are working with clients that have more complex needs such as clients funded by NDIS, icare, NIISQ, or Home Care Packages, you will need a Certificate III in Individual Support, Aged Care, Disability or Community Care.
