Disability Support Workers - physical & Behavioural Support
Casual / Permanent Part-Time

We are seeking experienced Disability Support Workers to support two adults, one of whom has an acquired neurological injury (brain injury). Both participants present with complex physical and behavioural support needs.

These are high-responsibility roles and are not suitable for entry-level workers.

About the Role

You will be supporting individuals who:
• Require hands-on physical assistance, including assisted transfers
• Experience periods of emotional or behavioural dysregulation requiring skilled intervention
• Experience significant communication difficulties, including speech that can be hard to interpret

Supports are delivered in the home and community and require workers who are observant, confident and able to respond appropriately in dynamic and unpredictable situations.

Communication Requirements (Essential)

Due to the nature of the participant’s acquired neurological injury (brain injury), communication can be impaired and difficult to understand.

As a result, this role requires:
• Exceptional spoken English comprehension
• Ability to accurately understand unclear, slurred, or inconsistent speech
• Confidence to ask for clarification, repeat back information and confirm understanding
• Ability to communicate calmly and clearly during distress or behavioural escalation
• Strong written English for accurate documentation, progress notes and incident reporting

Please note: This role is not suitable for workers who are still developing English language confidence, due to the participant’s complex communication needs and safety requirements.

Shifts may include personal care, physical assistance, behavioural support and periods of emotional or behavioural dysregulation requiring skilled intervention.

Essential Experience & Skills
• Demonstrated experience supporting people with neurological injury, brain injury, or similar neurological conditions
• Confidence with physical assistance and manual handling, including transfers
• Experience implementing Behaviour Support Plans
• Strong emotional regulation, patience and professional boundaries
• Reliability, consistency, and sound judgement

Mandatory Checks & Qualifications
• NDIS Worker Screening Check
• First Aid & CPR
• Certificate III or IV in Disability / Individual Support (or significant relevant experience)

What We Offer
• Strong clinical and management oversight
• Structured behaviour support guidance
• Consistent shifts with established participants
• A professional, supportive team that prioritises safety, dignity and quality care

If you are an experienced support worker with excellent English, experience supporting neurological or brain injury, and confidence working with complex physical and behavioural needs, we encourage you to apply via email with your resume and a brief cover note outlining your relevant experience.

Support Workers Wanted!!

Join the Caresiah Team

Caresiah is looking for reliable, experienced support workers who are ready to commit.

We’re not just about filling shifts, we’re building a team that participants can rely on.

We need people who understand the complexity of disability. That means recognising that support often starts with short, sharp shifts as participants get to know you and you get to know them.

It means seeing a vacant shift as just the beginning, because matching the right person to the right participant takes time, trust, and skill. Building rapport is how hours grow, and how real support begins.

Some of our clients are on complex health journeys and need skilled, consistent care.

Others are stable and seeking genuine companionship and support.

In every case, we need workers who show up, for their participants and for their team.

We offer a variety of shifts to suit your lifestyle, including:
• Short shifts
• School-hours shifts
• Longer day shifts
• Overnight shifts

What we’re looking for:
• Drivers with a reliable vehicle and valid licence
• Experience in individual disability or aged care support (minimum cert lll preferred)
• People who value consistency, reliability, and teamwork
• Individuals who want to build long-term connections with participants
• Those ready to be part of a supportive, professional environment

If you’re ready to bring your skills and commitment to a team that values you, we’d love to hear from you.
