- Supporting with meal planning, cooking, light cleaning and facilitating community connection by socialising and going on outings

- You are a true people person who is passionate, patient, empathetic and resilient
- You are dedicated to empowering people with disabilities to live their best lives
- Flexibility to work various shifts including days, evening, early morning, weekends and sleepovers
- The capacity to meet the physical requirements as some manual handling tasks may be involved
- Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team
- Commitment to privacy and confidentiality
- Good computer skills and experience using Word, Excel and Outlook
- A Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) would be great but it's not a "must"
- Experience with complex behaviours would also be highly regarded
How can you join Endeavour Foundation?
Please note, before commencing with Endeavour Foundation, you will be required to undertake a “Fit2Work” National Criminal History Check, hold or be willing to obtain a Working with Children Check (Blue Card), NDIS Worker Screening Check/Yellow Card and a First Aid and CPR certificate
