This week we very sadly (😢😢😢) said good bye to our wonderful nurse Caitlin. She has been a wonderful addition to the Caresiah crew and we will miss her terribly. We would like to thank her for all the exceptional work she did during her time with us. Fitting Caresiah in amongst her many other roles meant stepping in on the fly many times and working her magic and then doing it all again the next week! She has been integral to the growth of our community and team and we are grateful to have had her along for the ride!

She will always have a place at Careish and we wish her the very best in all her endeavours !!

Disability & Aged Care Support Role

Caresiah | Ballarat & Surrounds
Approx. 25 hours per week plus shared 1 in 3 after-hours phone support
Permanent Part-Time

Caresiah is seeking a Registered Nurse to join our team in a flexible and supportive role assisting participants across disability and aged care services.

This opportunity would suit a nurse looking for balanced hours, meaningful work, and the chance to use their clinical skills in a practical community-based setting without the intensity of hospital shift work.

The successful applicant will be supported by our Senior Clinical Registered Nurse and Health Care Manager, with shared responsibility across a collaborative leadership team.

This role is based in Ballarat and may particularly suit someone seeking school hours, family-friendly arrangements, or a more sustainable pace of work.

Some tasks will be completed onsite and from our Smythesdale office, with a range of administrative and coordination duties able to be completed from home where suitable.

About the Role

As a Registered Nurse with Caresiah, you will provide clinical support and care coordination across a portfolio of participants, helping ensure services are safe, well-organised, and delivered in line with relevant disability and aged care standards.

You will work alongside support workers, families, allied health professionals, and external clinicians to assist with participant wellbeing, care planning, staff guidance, and general clinical oversight.

This role also includes participation in a shared 1 in 3 on-call rotation, providing phone guidance to support workers after hours when required.

Key Responsibilities
• Assist with participant clinical reviews and care planning
• Monitor participant wellbeing and escalate concerns where required
• Support staff with safe delivery of participant health-related supports
• Provide guidance regarding medication systems and documentation
• Assist with clinical paperwork, registers, and compliance records
• Support training and mentoring of support workers
• Liaise with families, allied health, GPs, and external providers as needed
• Help maintain service quality and participant safety
• Provide after-hours phone support as part of a shared roster
• Contribute to a positive, team-focused workplace culture

About You

You are a calm, capable nurse who enjoys helping others and working in a collaborative environment.

You may be looking for a role that offers flexibility, purpose, and a healthier long-term balance while still using your professional skills.

You will demonstrate:
• Current nursing knowledge and sound clinical judgement
• Good communication and relationship-building skills
• Confidence working independently with support available
• Ability to guide and support frontline staff
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• A practical and caring approach to service delivery

Experience in disability, community, or aged care is highly regarded but not essential.

Essential Requirements
• Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
• Bachelor of Nursing
• Current First Aid and CPR
• NDIS Worker Screening Check
• Police Check
• Working With Children Check (if applicable)
• Current driver licence

Why Join Caresiah
• Flexible permanent part-time opportunity
• Ideal for nurses seeking school hours or lifestyle balance
• Supportive leadership team with shared responsibilities
• Mix of onsite, office, and work-from-home tasks
• Meaningful work supporting people in the community
• Stable hours with growing organisation
• Ongoing professional development opportunities
• Shared 1 in 3 on-call arrangement rather than sole after-hours responsibility

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.

• 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

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

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.
