Female Support Worker, Gippsland.
Urgent casual and part-time shifts in Warragul, Drouin and nearby towns for a highly skilled female support worker who communicates clearly and eloquently. A nursing background is an added advantage.
Skilled, caring support, close to home.
We're looking for a highly skilled, caring female support worker to join our West Gippsland team. You'll provide one-on-one support in Warragul, Drouin and surrounding towns, at home and out in the local community, helping with the everyday things that make a good day possible.
Clear communication sits at the heart of this role. The people you support need to understand what's happening and feel genuinely heard. Families and our coordinators rely on accurate handovers, and every shift ends with clear, professional notes. If you speak and write well, explain things calmly and listen closely, you'll thrive here.
A nursing background is an added advantage, and your skills will be put to good use. Shifts are available now, and you'll be backed by a coordinator who answers the phone, a paid induction, and a buddy shift before you ever work alone.
This role includes intimate personal care, and a female support worker has been requested. Under Victorian equal opportunity law, being female is a genuine occupational requirement for this position. We warmly welcome female applicants of all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants, culturally diverse applicants, and applicants with lived experience of disability.
What you'll do
- Provide personal care with dignity and privacy, including showering, dressing, grooming and continence support.
- Help with daily living at home: meal preparation, light household tasks, medication prompts and routines that suit each person.
- Support community access around Warragul and Drouin, from appointments to outings and the activities each person enjoys.
- Use your skills and training to deliver safe, high-quality care that follows each support plan, including any health care needs.
- Build confidence, skills and independence step by step, guided by each person’s NDIS goals.
- Communicate clearly and professionally with the people you support, their families and our coordinators, and keep accurate progress notes after every shift.
- Notice changes in health, mood or wellbeing, and report them, and any incidents, promptly.
What you'll bring
- Excellent communication: you speak and write English clearly, confidently and eloquently.
- Highly skilled in personal care, with experience in disability, community or health care support, or a Certificate III or IV in Individual Support.
- An NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain one before you start.
- A current Working with Children Check, plus First Aid and CPR certificates.
- A full Australian driver’s licence and a reliable, insured car for travel between Warragul, Drouin and nearby towns.
- Warmth, patience and genuine respect for the privacy, choices and culture of the people you support.
Bonus points
- A nursing background, such as Enrolled Nurse or Registered Nurse experience or nursing studies. This is an added advantage.
- You live in or near Warragul, Drouin or elsewhere in West Gippsland.
- Manual handling, hoist transfer, medication administration or Mealtime Management training.
- Experience supporting people with complex needs.
- A second language.
