Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose, not for profit organisation of 6,500 employees working in more than 440 communities across Australia. We support children, young people and families, people with disability, older people and people with mental illness. We work with people who are homeless and refugees and asylum seekers.
We want to employ people who reflect the diversity of our clients to ensure we can support each client's individual needs and wants. We encourage people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and people with disability to apply.
This is a challenging but rewarding opportunity for you to make a positive difference in the lives of the children our organisation supports through our Out of Home Care Program.
As a Residential Support Worker, your role will be to provide care and support to children who have been placed into the care of Life Without Barriers. The role will be to support children in a home setting with a team of staff committed to seeing the best outcomes for the children.
You will be supported by a larger care team and the role will see you working one to one with a young person who requires 24/7 care due to seizures and an acquired brain injury.
Shifts coverage will include: day shifts, afternoon and overnight (awake shifts).
As a casual you may be asked to cover any of these shift patterns so flexibility and the ability to work a variety of shifts a week and some weekends is a must.
Include your resume and covering letter in one document, click ‘Apply’ and follow the prompts. For any enquiries including persons with disability that require adjustments, contact [email protected] using the subject line: Residential Support Worker - Children's Services - Broome enquiry via EthicalJobs.
We are dedicated to playing our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and bring continuity of care and support to our clients. With this in mind, if you are successful, we will discuss with you an alternative to a face to face interview.
Life Without Barriers supports the Royal Commission into violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability. We believe people with disability need to be heard and for these experiences to influence how support services like ours are delivered. View our statement here https://bit.ly/2GzZGWA
