We are seeking a Mentor / Support Worker to work with a gentleman in his mid-40s who values connection and community engagement. He enjoys walking the family dog, swimming, BBQs, doing jobs with his ute, recycling, shopping and the great outdoors. We are looking for a mentor with similar interests who has a demonstrated ability to work alongside and advocate for people with a disability, and the capacity to encourage a shared vision with the person being supported.

This role requires a strong commitment to creating respectful and meaningful relationships, working collaboratively to achieve personal goals, and providing tailored support. The Mentor / Support Worker will engage with the gentleman through genuine communication, humour, and a focus on promoting independence and competence. Responsibilities include following the gentleman's Positive Behaviour Support Plan, managing daily routines, and adapting to his pace and needs.

I require time to get to know new workers prior to sleepovers commencing. This position would be best suited to someone looking to start regular shifts in March. Prior to this, you would need to be available and flexible for a variety of drop in visits (minimum pay 2 hours) for a few weeks. The initial weeks would also include induction training to build an understanding of the support needs.
