Job description

Be you. Be brave. Be great. Be mates.

Hi, we’re Great Mates! We’re a Queensland-based disability support provider with a big heart and a big difference.

We bring different backgrounds and abilities together on a shared life journey. We believe in the value of friendship and its power to enrich lives. Our mission is to create a space where people embrace differences, find likeness and are empowered to live life on their terms. At the end of the day, we are people supporting people — and we need you to help us do that.

About the Role

We’re excited to welcome new Great Mates to our growing team. We currently have multiple Clinical Lifestyle Assistant (Community Worker) opportunities available across the Gold Coast.

In this rewarding and diverse role, you will support participants in our Supported Independent Living (SIL) environments through day-to-day care, life skill development, and connection to community networks. You’ll contribute to enhancing wellbeing, independence and inclusion — while also assisting in community access, advocacy, and service coordination.

This position works across a 7-day roster and suits those who thrive on variety, love working with people, and bring initiative and empathy to everything they do.

Key Responsibilities

  • Supporting participants with diverse needs (including complex behaviours and health conditions)
  • Implementing individualised support, behaviour, and healthcare plans
  • Conducting interviews to evaluate the nature and scope of clients’ challenges
  • Facilitating participation in community life, including access to education, employment, and local activities
  • Connecting clients with relevant external agencies for further assistance and support
  • Developing programs that build life skills (e.g. budgeting, cooking, public transport, social engagement)
  • Advocating for participant needs and promoting community inclusion and social connections
  • Working with families, community groups and external services to improve outcomes
  • Tracking client progress and preparing regular progress reports
  • Maintaining accurate documentation including case notes, incident reports, and service feedback
  • Contributing to a safe, inclusive and culturally responsive environment
  • Identifying clients’ needs and designing, developing, and delivering tailored educational, training, and support programs

About You

  • Experience working with people with disability, mental health conditions, and/or complex needs
  • Confident supporting participants in both home and community settings
  • Understanding of person-centred practice and community development principles
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • A can-do attitude with a commitment to ongoing learning
  • Ability to work flexible hours including active overnight shifts
  • Diploma in Individual Support or equivalent qualification in community services
  • Current First Aid & CPR
  • NDIS Worker Screening (or Yellow Card)
  • Working with Children’s Check (Blue Card)
  • Current QLD driver’s licence
  • Minimum 6 months of relevant paid experience

What's in it for you

  • Real career progression pathways and learning opportunities
  • A unique and supportive team culture — including team events and professional development
  • A chance to make a genuine impact in people’s lives and communities
  • The lifestyle of sunny Queensland
  • Great Mates for life

Employment type

  • Full time 38 Hours Per Week, Coomera QLD 4209
  • $37.96 - 42.96 per hour (in accordance with the relevant award)

As a registered not for profit organisation, Great Mates has available salary packaging

benefits, including up to $15,900 per FBT year for approved living expenses and up

to $2,650 per FBT year for meal entertainment, subject to eligibility, provider

arrangements and individual circumstances.

Everyone needs a Great Mate, we hope you can join the journey.

Please note that recruitment for this position has been ongoing since 2nd June 2026, as we continue to expand our workforce and identify suitably qualified candidates to meet current and anticipated service need.
