We’re looking for compassionate, motivated Support Workers/Community Living Assistants to join our friendly, creative teams in our Upper Springland Campus, Perth.

-Residential services – supporting people in their own private apartments and wider community, set in beautiful grounds
-Purpose-built Day Centre Hub – with sensory equipment, adapted kitchen, craft spaces and much more!
-Community Outreach – helping people live independently in their own homes and take part in community life.

You’ll work in bright, accessible environments with outstanding facilities, including:

• Rebound therapy suite
• Accessible gym

What You’ll Be Doing – Support Worker/Community Living Assistant

Every day is different, but you may:

• Support people to take part in meaningful activities — arts & crafts, baking, music, ICT, sports, cinema trips, theatre visits, shopping, football, even rock climbing
• Enable people to achieve personal goals and build independence
• Work one-to-one and in group settings
• Develop and follow person-centred care plans
• Complete records, risk assessments, and report changes professionally

We love team members who bring a skill or passion to share, music, baking, arts, tech, sport. Your interests can open up new experiences for the people we support.

• Driving licence (some roles include driving adapted manual vehicles — travel costs covered for community support)

Most importantly, you’re kind, patient, creative, and passionate about helping people live great lives.
