Do you want more than just a job?
Do you want your work to feel meaningful – knowing that every shift truly changes a person’s life?
At Community Living Options (CLO), that’s exactly what we offer.
We’re seeking compassionate, reliable and purpose-driven Support Workers (both male and female) to join our growing Forensic and Specialist Transition (FAST) Team. You will support a vulnerable NDIS participant as she transitions into her own home and builds a meaningful life that is safe, connected, and filled with possibility.
This is not your typical support role – you’ll be part of a trauma-informed, psychologically aware team, working under the guidance of a dedicated Service Coordinator to deliver a specialist, evidence-based model of support that empowers, uplifts, and has been shown to make a lasting difference.
About the Role
You’ll be working alongside another team member to provide person-centred active support on a 2:1 ratio to a female participant whose life is profoundly affected by multiple and complex mental health conditions. Your role is to help her feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow.
This includes:
- Building daily routines and life skills to support her transition into the community
- Supporting emotional regulation and responding to behaviours of concern with compassion, consistency and professionalism
- Encouraging independence through activities like cooking, community access, and public transport
- Implementing Behaviour Support Plans and contributing to risk assessments
- Promoting dignity, choice, and hope – always
Every action you take will support healing, safety and personal growth.
Who We’re Looking For
You will bring a calm presence, resilience and a genuine passion for people living with complex mental health diagnoses and trauma-informed care needs. You are grounded, self-aware and able to hold space for strong emotions being freely expressed.
You are someone who can:
- Listen deeply and respond with empathy
- Foster trust and build authentic relationships whilst maintaining a non-judgemental approach
- Stay composed in high-pressure situations
- Validate and support emotional expression
- Promote safety and routine while building capacity
- Be a consistent, respectful and reliable presence
- Maintain clear and consistent professional boundaries
Ideal candidates may have:
- Experience in mental health, psychosocial disability or complex behaviour support
- Background in allied health, psychology, community services or similar (students and under-grads welcome)
- Understanding of trauma-informed care and human rights-based practice
- Confidence with risk management, safety protocols, and incident reporting
- Availability for a variety of shifts, including weekends and overnights
Qualifications and Certificates required:
- NDIS Worker Screening Clearance
- Current Driver's Licence
- Current First Aid Certificate
- Current CPR
- Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability/Aged Care) or other relevant qualification
Joining CLO, you will be provided with:
Supportive and inclusive team environment
Ongoing training and development support
Salary Packaging benefits (up to $15,899 p.a tax-free)
Position with purpose whereby you will be making a difference.
