About the role

Make a practical difference in a participant's day

Yirra Care support workers help NDIS participants complete daily tasks and take part in their local communities.

For example, you may support a participant to attend an appointment, visit a local service or complete an agreed activity.

In addition, some shifts may include help with daily routines, community access or social participation. However, duties always depend on the participant's goals and support plan.

Most importantly, each service must protect the participant's dignity, privacy and right to make choices.

Key duties

What an NDIS support worker may do

Each participant has different needs. Therefore, tasks can change between services.

Before a shift begins, Yirra Care will explain the agreed duties, boundaries and important safety information.

Community access

Support participants to attend appointments, shops, community programs or other approved activities.

Daily activities

Help with agreed daily tasks while encouraging choice, confidence and independence.

Social participation

Support participants to join social, recreational or community activities that match their goals.

Transport support

Provide safe transport when it forms part of the approved service and role requirements.

Progress notes

Complete clear service notes and report concerns through the correct Yirra Care process.

Participant safety

Follow risk information, support instructions, privacy rules and incident reporting steps.

Please note: The exact duties depend on each participant. Therefore, a role may not include every task listed above.

Our expectations

The values we expect from every support worker

Support work is built on trust. For this reason, we look beyond documents and work history.

We also consider how applicants communicate, respond to feedback and protect participant choice.

Respect

Respect each participant's choices, culture, privacy, home and preferred way of communicating.

Reliability

Arrive on time. In addition, communicate early if an issue may affect an agreed shift.

Clear communication

Listen carefully, ask useful questions and provide clear updates after each service.

Safe boundaries

Follow professional boundaries and never use a participant relationship for personal gain.

Good judgement

Follow service instructions. However, report any safety concern or change as soon as possible.
