Disability Support Worker - Dee Why

Nextt Support Workers Get More Out of Life!

Nextt supports people with a disability or mental illness as well as families, children and young people with additional needs.  We love to help people  enjoy the journey towards individual goals.

 Nextt participants get more out of life and so do our workers!

Positions are available for disability support workers in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Applicants who are not on the Northern Beaches of Sydney will not be consider for this role.

We are interested in you as an individual as well as  the skills and talents you would like to share with our participants to help them to reach their goals. So, if you are a rock climber, a music lover, a crafter, a gardener a homemaker or all of those things, your skills, as well as your work experience are highly valued.  

Support workers and participants are thoughtfully matched so that both enjoy happy , productive experiences.   New workers become part of a collaborative support team so that consistency and understanding bring positive results.  

Nextt offers variety and choice with shifts that include self care support, domestic assistance, transport assistance, community access, and respite.  Collaboration and a creative approach are encouraged so that participants reach their goals and workers have the opportunity to contribute to the development of programs. Skill and capacity building is the focus of the work.  Some participants just need some support to gain independence and move closer to their dreams. The participant group includes all ages and circumstances so new workers can grow and learn. Some programs support young people transitioning from school to work as well as children and older people on the autism spectrum.

The hours of work vary and include weekday shifts, evening and weekend shifts as well as overnight hours. Penalty rates apply on weekends, Public Holidays and after 8 pm. This is an opportunity to work with other professionals, learn and advance your career.

 Please consider joining the team at Nextt if you would like to be part of a professional and committed group where respect and consideration fosters positive results for both support workers and participants.
