Aruma needs YOU (yes, you!)

At Aruma, we support people with disabilities to live great lives. It is the reason we exist - after all, why should anyone have to settle for anything less? To make this a reality, we rely on the skill and commitment of our Aruma team.

Our Aruma team are incredible people. We are bold, brave and courageous. We see possibilities where others may not. We stand up for the things that matter and stand together as a team. We are serious about human rights and have a knack for finding joy in life - even in the most unexpected places.

When you are part of the Aruma team, you support people, pioneer new paths, challenge assumptions, dare to think differently and tell society to raise the bar higher.

We are looking for like-minded people who have the same values. There is no specific 'mould', we need a team that is as diverse as our customers.

So, who is Aruma? We are glad you asked.

Aruma is a new name in disability services, but we are definitely not new. You might remember us as House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation, two great organisations, with over 100 years of combined experience, who came together in 2018.
There are, however, a few boxes you will need to tick:

• Be enthusiastic about supporting people with disabilities to live great lives. The lives they want and choose, putting the people we support first. That is non-negotiable.
• Support our customers with daily household activities, preparation and assistance with meals, personal care, and social, recreational and community experiences that enhance quality of life, based on support plan goals.
• Strong sense of accountability and confidentiality
• Experience in personal care and happy for this to be part of your job
• For the DDSO1Q role a CERT IV in Disability Support or equivalent qualification is required
• Current Driver's Licence
• Current First Aid Certificate with CPR
• Current employee WWCC

Successful applicants will be initially employed by the Department of Health and Human Services and managed by Aruma until employment transitions to Aruma as part of the Victorian transfer of Government Disability Services to the NDIS. Employment, salary, and benefits will be in accordance with Disability Services Enterprise Agreement Victoria 2018 - 2022, classification Level DDSO1 & 1Q.
