DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL - NEWCASTLE
Build strong connections with people with disability to provide quality support and achieve positive outcomes.
Hourly Rate:
From $33.41 + 25% loading for casuals (plus shift penalties where applicable).
Not-For-Profit Salary Packaging options available for all staff (up to $15,900/pa).
WHO WE ARE:At Unisson Disability, we believe that no one should be defined by their disability. We are passionate about enabling people with disability to live their best lives, in a world that can feel more restrictive for them than for others. We've been around for 99 years - no mean feat in this dynamic sector! The double S in our name is no typo either - it references our previous name 'Sunshine', a legacy for our groundbreaking founder, Dr Lorna Hodgkinson.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE:- Willing to work flexible hours with a variety of short and long shifts.
- Required to hold an NSW Driver's License (P2/Full).
- Use their personal vehicle to transport clients.
- Willingness to drive a Unisson vehicle.
- High levels of enthusiasm, initiative, and a positive attitude.
- Emotional intelligence, resilience, and capacity to perform the work required.
- Prior experience working with people with disabilities or in a similar role (desirable).
- Certificate III and/or IV in Disability and prior experience (desirable).
We are looking for several motivated, innovative, and resilient people to provide support to clients with intellectual disabilities in Newcastle, Raymond Terrace, and Hunter. The role provides variety, working with different clients in one day. The clients enjoy exploring with sensory activities, cooking, arts & crafts, spending time with families, and engaging in community activities. They require support with complex behaviours and assistance in engaging in meaningful activities.
Responsibilities:- Support and encourage clients to participate in activities within the home and in the wider community.
- Support clients with their personal care (toileting, showering, grooming, and dressing) where this is part of the client's person-centred plan.
- Use the manual handling techniques that are specified in a client's comprehensive person-centred plan.
- Transport a client to appointments or activities as required in vehicles or on public transport.
- Support each client and interact with their family members and other stakeholders respecting their dignity, cultural background, and religious beliefs.
- Be part of developing, implementing, keeping records, and reviewing each client's comprehensive person-centred plan and behaviour support plan.
- Work co-operatively as part of a team and treat all colleagues with respect.
- Respond to all incidents and injuries in accordance with Unisson's policies and procedures and the NDIS Quality Safeguards Standards.
- Salary Packaging Options.
- Wherefit Partnership.
- Discounted Health Cover.
- Annual Leave Loading at 17.5%.
- Additional Wellbeing Leave and options to cash out Annual Leave.
- Free Flu Vaccinations.
- Milestone Celebrations.
- Flexible Working Options.
- Emphasis on Individualised Training and Development.
- Access to professional counselling service for employees and their immediate family.
- Collaborative and positive working culture.
Please attach a cover letter and your updated resume.
Unisson Disability is a person-centred organisation. We believe that every person has a story. This applies not only to the people we support, but also to our approach to the people we employ. With a continuous focus on team building, leadership coaching, and ongoing training, we seek to create a working environment that's unified with our core purpose:
promoting everyone's ability to live a great life. Our promise to our team members is that we will help you develop your personal strengths and grow in your role. Unisson Disability is an equal opportunity employer and provides a smoke-free environment.
